Hi Jenni - cousin

Lovely to catch up with the lost arm of the More/Moir family as far as Scotland is concerned.
It would appear that the records you seek would be in Australia. These are available in most major libraries or on line but I am unaware of the link.
I had a quick look through the IGI lists for Banffshire and Aberdeenshire and nothing came up.
It may also be the fact that the Alexander mentioned may not be in your direct linage but a relative eg a cousin.
The news about pharmacy is news to me. It is also interesting because it is unknown if Jonathon owned the farm at Little Blackton. However it is believed that David (3rd son) owned his farm at Ordiquihill (unsure of spelling)
Anyway all these extras cause great excitement and puts new meaning into family ties.
Are you in the Aussie arm of the family. If so it may be worth a personal contact with more serious data.
Cheers John (actually 4th in a row)

Hi John and Happy New Year


Yes I am in the aussie line of this family having spent most of my childhood in the same area where Alexander and Ann were married and raised their 10 children before she died in Sydney. Most of the children stayed in the Erina/Gosford area. I would like to get in contact and see what information you have which by the sound of it is quite extensive, it all sounds very interesting.

As I am new to this system I do not know, as yet, how to send a PM. If you know then we can share email addresses.

I too live in Australia and my grandfather came out to Australia around 1880.
He was the grandson of James More and the son of son John later to call himself Jonathon. He settled in the Western District of Victoria and later purchased property at Tynong and Trafalgar. I look forward to getting to know you and your families.

We are in the phone book at Warrnambool.

We will work out a way to get direct contact and release more detailed info.

Cheers John

Hi Harley08

Just reread your notes. The other piece of info you may not have is as follows:

Parents of Janet and in fact sister Jean and brother Alexander are

Alexander Davidson and Isobel Ferguson married 13/12/1781

Janet was born in Oyne 25/12/1788

Died in Alvah in 18/3/1853 aged 65 (as written but in view of the fact James age at death could be 8 years out you need to verify this so other way)

Did you mention before the name of the ship Alexander came out to Australia on?

Cheers John

Hi John


Alexander came to Australia on the ship Charlotte Jane in 1848. I have a copy of his immigration record.

Thank you for that.
Would I be asking too much to get a copy?
Can you let me have an email address? OR I will try to see if I can get a PM sent to you with mine.

I seek information on a James Moir christened 12/2/1786 in Kilmadock Perth Scotland.

If there are any decendents who can assist me with what happened to him I would be pleased to hear from you.
