I wonder if someone would know if there is/was a public house owned by a family of Moores in the 1840's? My ancestor Charles Moore and his wife Isabella Christian nee Cannell, were living on the Isle of Man, Isabella's home country, in 1841 and Charles was working as a publican. He'd been born in Leitrim, Ireland and had been a professional soldier. It's believed his father had also been a soldier who fought in the Peninsula Wars. We think the Moores may have come from the Isle of Man. Charles & Isabella immigrated to New Zealand in 1847, Charles as a Royal New Zealand Fencible.
