Marg, I also descend from Moff***s of Fermanagh, but mine came from Saloon in Magheracross and Makenny, the adjoining townland in Kilskeery, Tyrone. Like the Moffitts you are searching for, there were no surviving male lines for this family in NSW after 1916. I have found you have to search all spellings of this name..... I have found some possible records to add to those sent in by FG listers. Hope they help! Carole Elliott. [George is the son of Rev James MOFFITT, (Methodist) and Mary LOWRY abt 1810 to 9 Oct 1847. There are no surviving male MOFFITT lines in Australia. The grandfather James Moffitt, died 5 Jan 1877 at Knocks, Fermanagh. He was probably born abt 1807 What we need to know is about James Moffitt. Would his death or marriage show his parents? We feel the only viable line we will find, will be with any brothers of James.] Marg, a Robert Moffitt, Knox/Knocks, Clones...could he be your Rev.
