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.
