Thanks all, you were on the right track and helped lots and lots. I tracked the Moffat's right back to Samuel Moffat (1849) and Ellen Davenport (1849) and got stumped again. I could go further back with Ellen but became unstuck with Samuel. My Dad always told me there was a Scottish bloodline but I can't seem to find it. I came across a Samuel from Congleton who was originally from Ireland and I wondered if there was a connection there somewhere?
