Moore, Christine

[Sarah Roberts]

My grandmother from my father's side was Christine Moore from Dublin. She moved to Glasgow in the 1800's and married James Roberts. My dad is now 76 and has no contact with his mother's side although he knows he must still have family in Ireland. He says his mother always talked of a place called The Coombe. I've tried looking this up on maps and have had no luck. As you can see the information I have is limited but I'd be grateful for any info any one can offer.

Thanks.

Hi,

The Coombe is the name of one of the main maternity hospitals in Dublin, south side near the canal. I think the surrounding area is the same name. You could try looking for her birth entry in the indexes.

hi there,i  have just seen your request for information on the coombe area of dublin,actually my mother came from around that area too.kate is right about the coombe being a maternity hospital which was located on a street also called 'the coombe',at least the old hospital was on that site but the new coombe hospital is now located  nearby on dolphins barn street.back to the coombe street ,it is in the 'liberties' area of dublin which would be dublin 8 south city.located at the bottom of a street called francis street .hope that helps.at least you have a few other names to 'throw' into a search engine.let me know if you need any other info on the general area,would love to offer a look up for you but am unable to get to record offices at the moment.

Happy Easter Sarah, Kate and Anne,

I cannot offer enough thanks to my friend who kindly recommended a lovely book by Máirín Johnston "Around the Banks of Pimlico" published by Attic Press.  I spotted your enquiry about Christine Moore. I imagine Moore was probably a popular name in the Coombe area of Dublin. I have been browsing through and dipping into my book.
I noticed the name Catherine Moore. Catherine, in the late 1850s, was employed (with no testimonials) to teach sewing at the Catholic Ragged School in Park Street West.

All the Best, Chris

I can't believe it's been so long since the original post...I've no idea why I didn't respond at the time!
I've only recently started researching again. My dad said his mother came from the Coombe, I'm guessing it must have been the liberties area, as you suggested Anne. I'm guessing it was quite a poor area too.
I have more info on her parents, they were Jane Ann Hoggan and William Moore.
I'm sorry I missed the replies all those years ago - especially Chris' who I see passed away in 2009. Sounded like such a jolly man as well.

Sarah.

Welcome back, Sarah.
A quick search hasn't thrown up anything, have you been able to get a better idea of dates for Christine?
Do you know if she married in Ireland?

A William Moore Married Jane Hogan ,Dublin South 18th July 1897

dont see anything obvious after this ie 1901 census, if them could they have left after their marriage

There is a Christina Moore mother Hogan born Dublin 1905.

In the first post Sandra said her father was 76 so born about 1929 so his mother born 18+ years earlier but she also said Christine left Ireland in the 1800s so difficult to know without firmer dates.
