Find Ancestors

Hi Jean, perhaps if you told us more about your ggrandfather, his name, who he married etc, we might have better luck finding the correct James. If you could post some census records with them on it might help.

A tree on Ancestry says his parents were

john moore
1815–1845
Birth ABOUT 1815 • Garvagh, Donegal, Ireland [ but no proof is offered ]
Death ABOUT 1845 • Garvagh, Donegal, Ireland

and

mary mullan
1815–1850
Birth ABOUT 1815 • ireland
Death ABOUT 1850 • u.k.

No facts about Mary Mullan prior to marriage.

The tree says that James had siblings -

Henry - 1840 Londonderry - 1891 Glasgow.
Jane - 1845 Ireland - 31/7/1895 Cincinnati

He was born c 1843 in Ireland I'm presuming Londonderry as that is where my gr.grandfather , his brother was born.

All I have on James is his name on my.gr.grandfather's marriage cert in Tradeston, Glasgow in 1869 .

Also I'm just presuming he is the brother.
Parents should be John Moore and Mary nee Mullen

when and where was james born

Hello Maddie ,
thanks again for all the information,
I don't think is the James I am looking for going by the dates of arrival in the U.S.
My James was in Glasgow in 1869 according to my gr.grandfathers marriage cert,

regards
jean

I wonder if someone could find the emigration and Marriage records for James Moore d.o.b. c 1843 who married Elizabeth Deens in Philadelphia in 1872 according to Familysearch.

I'm keen to find out when James emigrated and if it might show on his marriage records who his parents are.

The James Moore in my family tree is my great grandfathers brother who was a witness to my gr.grandfather in 1869 in Glasgow.

So before I waste more credits on ScotlandPeople looking for a James Moore I thought I'd check this one .

Thank you
jean
