Hello folks, I thought I should pitch in at this point with so much Moore-based discussion going on. My Thurlestone Moores go something like this: 1 Roger MOORE (2) Dates unknown       1 George MOORE (2), b. January 1753, m. Mary HANNAFORD, 29 October         1779, d. 1837           1 Roger MOORE, b. December 1789, m. Jane HEATH, 27 December 1810,             d. 1871               1 James MOORE, b. 16 August 1818, m. Mary BAVILL, 31 December                 1840, d. 1898?                   1 George MOORE, b. 22 August 1841, d. aft. 1901                   2 James MOORE (2), b. 16 July 1843                   3 Josiah MOORE, b. October 1845, m. Selina STEER, 1869, d. 13 March 1911                   4 Mary Ann MOORE, b. 17 October 1847                   5 Sabina MOORE, b. 17 June 1849, d. aft. 1901                       1 Alfred MOORE, b. 1869                   6 Lucius Osmund MOORE, b. 1851                   7 James MOORE (3), b. 17 June 1854, d. aft. 1891                   8 John Thomas MOORE, b. 24 February 1857, m. Maria                     HURRELL, 5 December 1877, d. 20 August 1921                   9 Isabella MOORE (2), b. 17 April 1859, m. James BOYES, 1880                       1 Charles BOYES, b. ca. 1882                       2 Mary E BOYES, b. ca. 1885               2 Peggy MOORE, b. ca. 1830?                   1 Edmund MOORE, b. June 1861 Because I haven't looked much at George and Roger Moore's other children (those not my direct ancestors) there may be a connection somewhere with the other Moore families mentioned in that area?
