Thanks Frances,

They were included with the baptismals.

I am in process of going through surnames of Moore and am collecting data on the Moore line while trying to find info to see if the William Moore, who was on the Illinois USA 1850 census was the brother of Anne Moore who was married to Robert Watt.

It lists an age of 40 on the census which matches with the 18 Jun 1810 birth of William Moore, son of Thomas Moore & Anne Shimin or Shimmin from Patrick.

The 1850 census also has him being married to a Leonora ? from the Isle of Man. She would have been born around 1820 according to 1850 census.

If I can find a marriage record of Leonora being married to William son of Thomas Moore and Anne Shimmin, then this would make the connection. as the brother of Anne in the USA.

According to story from my dad's first cousin (she has been to the Isle) Catherine, Thomas Moore was supposed to have had a tavern or pub on the Isle, who knows?.

Thanks for your help and advice,

Tim
