Not to confuse matters, although admittedly I probably am, but we've got Muirs in our background also, but can find no link between them and those being discussed here.
This is the limited information I have:

BTW, twins tend to run in the gene pool.   William was a twin (1818), his son Daniel had a twin John (1854), and his daughter Helen Neva Moore Newman (1897) was a twin (Hazel Eva 1897).

Hello from another More researcher,

My Mores were from Ross-shire as far back as the records allow, so can't help - sorry

Hi fellow MORE researchers

 

The MORE family I'm researching begins in Drymen, Stirlingshire about 1700 with:

John MORE c. 1700 married Margaret MCLEW born c. 1700

Their child of interest was John MOIR c 1727 married Katherine GRAHAM born c. 1729

 

Then William MORE/MOIR born c 1758 married Elizabeth BUCHANAN born  c. 1758

Offspring was David MORE c 1806 married Agnes Sloan GRAHAM in Glasgow, Lanarkshire in 1830

 

Their offspring of interest was David MORE 1847 who married Mary Jane CAMPBELL b. 1852

The family had migrated to Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire before scattering to many points of the globe including Canada and Australia.

Thanks for any help and will provide what help I can.

 

 

Hi Folks,

Can I suggest that we also put the place or county name with the surname.  For compactness in the subject line, I suggest we use the Chapman Codes for the county and country.  These can be found at <https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Regions/Codes#index>   In my case it's MORE ROC SCT.  If we're all only looking in SCT then we can delete that to save space.  For those unfamiliar with these, ROC is Ross and Cromarty.

Cheers

Hello Lindsay. How do I send a new message to the group? 

I need help with my Skye ancestors

Although a fellow Australian, I'm afraid I have a different view, Jocelyn.

First, it is really important that subject headings are relevant to the content of the message.  That's why I changed the heading above -- and also made it a new topic so that it is not included in the same conversation as all those about MORE.  How much easier it will be for each of us when looking over pst emails and, particularly, the archives of this list, if subject headings relate to the content.

Second, I agree that Chapman codes can be useful, but not everyone knows about them.  This list should be useful for both new and experienced researchers -- it will be most helpful for newbies if the words used are easily understood without having to do a lookup somewhere else.

But Lindsay, you don't have a different view to me at all as I hope my new subject line will show.  I agree entirely and what you say is exactly what I am suggesting and now putting into practice, and if your Mores aren't from ROC, you won't waste time even looking at this and that is the point, unless you're following my thread. 

The Chapman Codes were designed for a good reason and surely all researchers are interested in improving their research skills.

My great grandmother was Catherine MORE b 29 Jul 1833 at Arkendeith near Avoch ROC (in the Black Isle which is neither an island nor black) to father Alexander MORE (1774-1860) and his second wife Catharine MUSTARD (1787-1867).  His first wife was Isabel MORE (maiden name) and they had seven children all born in the Black Isle in ROC between 1799 and 1812. 

Looking for descendants from either wife.

And if my suggestion works, Lindsay, you won't even read this ;-)
