I finally got more information on my husband's grandfather, Cornelius Alexander MOORE, who was born in New South Wales and came to the U. S. to attend a Bible College in Lexington, KY. Following is some information a friend sent me from a Bible College he attended in the U.S.: MOORE, ALEXANDER CORNELIUS (OR CORNELIUS ALEXANDER); deceased; came to C. of B. from Maryloro [sic], Victoria, Australia; Diploma, English Course, C. of B., 1878; returned to Australia in 1882, preaching at Melbourne one year; ill-health caused rest for 18 months, when he began two years' work at Dunedin (Tabernacle), N.Z.; Minister at Camden Point, Mo., 1887-91; President, Female Orphan School, same place, 1892-96; in 1896 his address was Judy, Montgomery Co., Ky., where he was preaching. I wonder if SKS could tell me if there is anyway I could get any information from Melbourne or at the Dunedin (Tabernacle) in N.Z. where he evidently did some preaching after he returned to NSW and before he emigrated again to the U. S. Thanks much -- I have not been able to find anything about his parents, who were John and Maria Brown MOORE. There are too many John Moores and none with a Maria on the BMD records online.

Dear Lorraine, Perhaps you could contact some of the Bible Colleges in Melbourne for the info you require. C. O. B. sounds like the Church of Christ College of the Bible. Try their email address :[email protected] I know the early students had to go to America for their studies and the Melbourne College may have some information if he came back and preached here in Australia.
