Subject William Moore
To Bruce Ingram, Manx Genealogy Board

Thanks Bruce,

Am guessing the William Moore I found may be the brother of Anne Moore daughter of Thomas Moore & Ann Shimmin.

The census I have is from 1850 USA Illinois,
it has William Moore age 40 from Isle of Man married to a Leonora ? age 30 from Isle of Man, tried marriages from LDS but have not found anything for him.

Lost track of Leonora after Williams death in 1851.

I also found a cemetery record for him in the same location as Robert Watt & his wife Anne (Moore) Watt, date of death William d Feb 15 1851, 40 y , b 1811 Isle of Man (matches closely with the christening of Ann’s brother William in 1812 at Patrick)

Am planning a trip hopefully this fall to this cemetery and one other in area to take pictures, quite a few people buried at these from Isle of Man, Moore, Shimmin, Bawden, Cubbon.

Am not sure if he came to USA at the same time as Robert & Ann, hoping a person who sent info in past on ship manifest may send me a passenger list.

I have film numbers, but no LDS center in my area to do a lookup
Microfilm Serial Number M237 Roll # 54 Ship Hottinguer, arrived in New York 12 Jun 1844 from Liverpool England.

I also found on Ancestry.com a Thomas Shimmin m to a Ann Kinsman from part of a branch in family tree, am quessing these Bawden's, Shimmin's, Moore's and Watts from Isle of Man are related.

Thanks for your help Bruce,

Tim Johnson
