Thanks Sandra for your investigation and although I had been given these details by Mary and Francis last year your information did make me wonder if the Murchie girls used their mothers maiden name. Were they classed as illigitimate if their births were recorded on the dissenters list.
William Joseph the younger was allegedly born in Manchester. I do seem to be going round in circles and still no further forward in finding out the birth place and mother of William Joseph. There are/were so many Moore(s) in the IOM that I hoped someone had a family tree with him on. I appreciate everyones help.
