Dear List, Firstly, a big thank you to Noel Clark, Sylvia Murphy, Mary-Anne Gourley, Simon Harding, Ed Story and most of all to *John Windle* who sent me lots of records on the possibles for the above man. Your time and interest is so appreciated. I have only rejoined the list after a long time looking for Thomas Moore, PWI with EIR, c1830, Halifax NS. I am descended from Thomas Moore marrying Elizabeth Singh in 1889, but prior to meeting her (their first child was born in 1883, Mary Josephine, christened in Burdwan) the only record I have of him is with the EIR. They had 11 children, all of who were christened/born around the Burdwan, Chinsurah, Asansol and Karmatar districts. Sylvia Murphy has helped me on many occasions about 10 years ago with other family members, but this one has escaped me for such a long time. My dad's cousin, Warren O'Rourke (Toronto CA, now passed on), used to be a member of this list and provided me with a decent amount of information, but prior to 1882, I have no concrete evidence of how he got to India. Indeed, Sanjay Sircar, who was also on the list did indirectly help me as well. Donald Jaques, I think in the UK, all that time ago did also assisted me greatly, but I'm not sure what's happened to him. The very last thing he sent me was EIR records of Thomas Moore, which is concrete evidence that he was a PWI, from 1882 to 1890, but he couldn't access another roll of film that would have given more information. So, after looking at the two Thomas Moore's that you sent me, I can't rule them out, the times, the places all seem to fit. The only thing that doesn't fit atm is the fact that both marriages were RC, and I'm sure mine was a Methodist. I have a record from The Methodist Church in Asansol, that Thomas and Elizabeth donated an organ to that church in 1889 to Reverend Byers. All of this leads me to I think the only records prior to 1882, that will assist, and that's with the *EIR.* I looked back over my notes from Warren, and he's definite in saying that Thomas went Gold prospecting in Australia mid 1800s, then went to India - I don't know when, or if he did. Born in Halifax (possibly) CA, then Australia (where?) and then India. *If I could find out when he arrived in India/EIR appointment - possibly it might mention where he came from. * As for researching here in Australia*, *I have looked, but I don't know where, and is fruitless atm. This is my last ditch effort, I've spent a long time, but I think he has kept things pretty well hidden along the way. If anyone has access to EIR records, I would love to hear from you :) I also have a picture of him...not sure of the time frame, but someone might know from his apparel, and I also have the copy of the half information? Donald Jaques sent me re the EIR. Warm regards, Wendy, Newcastle, NSW, Australia
