I have just started on this track so really don't know anything about Joseph Lyttle Moore excepting that he died in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1872, and was the son of Robert T. and Catherine (Osborne) Moore. However, his mother, Catherine (Osborne) Moore is the one I am really after. She is of an age/generation that is the same as my elsuive (in Ireland) ancestor Moses Osborne/Osburn, etc., I am really hoping she might be a sibling. They all ended up migrating to the same general location in Canada. The "Joseph Moore", "Catherine" and "Moore" names repeatedly appear as first and/or middle names in subsequent generations of my Osborne lineage and think there could be a connection. The trick of course will be to try to find a pre 1826 marriage record for Robert and Catherine and I was hoping for a good location to start... then something familial to see if there might be a tie between Catherine and Moses. However, while the same is not true of the Lyttle name, it could follow there could well be a Lytle connection as well. Do you know if any of your Lytles came to Canada?

My great great aunt, Hannah Spence (B: bef 1825), married Thomas Lytle (B: abt. 1809). I have several other Lytle/Lyttle family members if you are interested. Regards, Jackie Crawford
