Thank you very much for just the information I was after. Hopefully Brian's website will be restored some day to make all this readily available again.

That confirmed that Robert Stephen Moore's wife was a Clague and also gave me his parents - Joseph Philip Moore & Margaret Jane Kissack - as he was an older brother of Philip Stanley Moore. Now anyone who actually has this RS Moore from Patrick in their tree (as opposed to the one from Douglas connected to my family who was the son of Robert Moore & Jane Cowley) will be able to follow the line back more easily. And I have my two Robert Stephen Moore's neatly sorted, thank you.

This is some of what I was working from:

Hope the layout works - looks OK in the preview.

Would have replied sooner but I've been away for a lovely long bank holiday weekend at a Festival where we learned French, Swedish and American traditional social dancing. Something new for us and lots of fun, but very tiring!
