Hi Irene No link to your Sims line but I am interested in possibilities re the Moore and Nolan names. My wife's great grandmother on one branch was Maria Nolan who married Donald McPherson at Stawell in 1864. Her great grandmother on another branch was Jane Moore who married James Anderson in Melbourne in 1854. I have a great great grandmother, martha moore who married George Malin, date and location (in YKS) unknown but c. 1834. If any of these are of interest I can let you you have further info.
