Can anyone read this place name in Co. Lanark pls

I agree with Forfarian, Troon could never, at any time, have been part of Lanarkshire.

The surname Moore never strikes me as being Scottish. Here in Scotland it is more likely to have been Muir, so perhaps it was "Anglicised" when the family went abroad? Have you tried searching for that name in the Scottish records?

I have tried looking for name variations, but there's so many Moore's/Muirs etc i haven't been able to narrow it down yet. Also my grandmother always said the name was origanlly O'Moore & then changed to Mooro at some stage, just to confuse matters even more!

O'Moore would make them Irish not Scottish.

Yes, maybe Charles parent's or father was from Ireland, I am yet to get that far in my research.
