John James Ogle Moore

Born: 1836, Dublin, Ireland.
Died: 8th November1906, Melbourne Victoria, Australia.

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.

During the period 1886 until his death in 1907 of a malignant throat tumour, John resided at Kew with his wife and two daughters. The house they lived in was called “Tawarra” and was located at 56 Princess Rd Kew. The property passed to his wife Susan and then his spinster daughters Emma and Jane. Both John and Susan are interned together at the

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.
