"James and Mary Moore arrived in Narembeen early in 1925, with their five children - Jack, Violet, Mavis, Eva, and Blanche. They purchased the greengrocery ,confectionary and café business in Churchill Street Narembeen from Jim Harrington.

They found the premises were too small, so they aquired the block of land next door and built a shop and residence behind it in 1927. They ran this business until they leased the premises to Mr. and Mrs.P.Wimp, and took over the Benbow Hostel.

In 1931 they sold out and went to Perth, but the depression soon meant that they returned to Narembeen to take over the hostel again.When the lease of Mr, and Mrs. Wimp expired on the business in 1933, Moores once again resume it, running it until 1940, selling out then to Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Hunter.

The Moores retired to Perth, but later bought a house in Northam in 1943, and James died there at the age of 79. Mary left Northam to live in Perth until her death in 1972 aged 93.

Jack was in the army from 1940 to 1960 . Violet married Don Martin and had three children Kevin (dec) , Lois and Geoffrey. Mavis married Alf Erdman and had three sons, Ian, Edward and Alan. Eva married Roy Halnan and had two daughters Carol and Robin. Blanche died in a tragic burning accident in 1933"(History of The Narembeen District, Seedtime & Harvest - Iris Bristow).

John was the son of the Very Reverend William Ogle Moore (Dean of Clogher) and Anna Casey. He was born in Ireland and married Susan Griffith at St Anne’s Parish Dublin in 1862, daughter of Walt Hussey Griffith and Jane Henn. In this same year their first child George was born and in 1863 the small family boarded the “Result” for a new life in Australia. The couple’s family grew to 3 daughters and another son in Australia, sadly one of the daughters Alice died in infancy in 1866.

In 1872 John and his brother Edward were squatters at Deniliquin in NSW. It was here that two of his children, James Ogle Moore and Emma Teresa Moore were born. He also spent some time in Griffiths where his name has been approved by the council for use on streets or parks. Another brother, Henry Ogle Moore also came to Australia and was the second doctor in Dandenong, Victoria in 1879. John’s son James Ogle Moore went to Western Australia in 1900, where he married and remained until his death in 1947.

The Lost Ogle Moores

We have solid information on the family history of the four sons of George and Elizabeth Ogle Moore but scarce information on the two daughters Mary Anne Jane and Elizabeth. In fact all the genealogical information we have is that these two daughters existed. No DOB, DOD, marriage or births have come to light for Mary Anne Jane. Elizabeth married Edward Beauman in 1833, but little else. There is also rumoured to be another son Joseph Scroder Moore who went to New Zealand no other genealogical details are known for him.

Also missing is information on the Ogle Moore that migrated to Nova Scotia in 1809 and his descendents. I see there are many Ogle Moores who have lived in the USA over the years, are they connected to the Nova Scotia family?

Does anyone have any family history on these lost Ogle Moore's? If you have any family history information about these lost Ogle Moores, please let us know in the comments section so we can fill in the missing information.

Unravelling the Moore Family

My story of the Moore family begins way back in Wexford Ireland.

The Hon. George Ogle was married to Elizabeth Moore. This couple had no children of their own, so when Elizabeth's sister Mary Anne married her cousin John Moore, they named their first born son after George Ogle.

George Ogle Moore was born in 1770 and died in 1847. George represented the city of Dublin Ireland in parliament from 1826 to 1831. He married Elizabeth Armstrong in 1800.

One of their sons John, came to Australia in 1852 on board "The Rattler". They came as unassisted immigrants and even had two or three servants with them on their journey. John's family consisted of: John jnr, Arthur, Charles, Lorenzo, Ogle James, Elizabeth, Louisa and George.

On arrival in Australia, John snr's occupation was listed as 'Squatter' on the Tallarook run in Victoria. It's not known where he went from here, but he and some of his family lived for many years at Alexandra Street, East St. Kilda, Melbourne. John died on 30th January 1885 .

Ogle James Moore married Isobel Clara Webb in Albury NSW in 1866. He was born in Dublin Ireland in 1837 and died at Glen Innes NSW in 1898.

Their children were: Richard Ogle Moore, John Ogle Moore, Marguerita Scott Moore, Linda Constance Moore , Elizabeth Gertrude Isabel Moore,Thomas Mitchell Moore and Ogle James Moore.

Richard Ogle Moore married Charlotte Evelyn Robinson in 14th June 1899.
JOHN JAMES OGLE MOORE

This journey began for me with my grandfather JOHN JAMES OGLE MOORE, known to most people as Jack.
Born:15 Jul 1907 North Coolgardie
Born to: James Ogle moore and Mary Dryden.
Married: 23 Mar 1935 Kalgoorlie to Irene May Moore at St Mary's Kalgoorlie.
Died:1984 North Perth
Employment: Miner, Storekeeper, Private WW11.
Jack married May Moore and had 2 children Marie Ellen Moore and John James Moore.

It appears that Jack was a very private man. He had little to do with his family throughout his life. I only met Jack in the last few months of his life. Although he had no contact he was well versed in what we had been doing in our lives. He remained a mystery man.
