Daniel b. Aug 1835; George b. Jun 1836; Elizabeth born 1837;
Frances b. Dec 1839 and Emma b. Oct 1847.
All probably born at Theddlethorpe, Lincolnshire, England.
Theddlethorpe is on the east coast, north of Mablethorpe, east of Louth.

William married Sarah Bartholomew in 1851.
Harriet married Thomas Barr in 1846 and had 13 children.
Ann married a Mr Young.
Rebecca died in 1847 aged 18.

John married Susan PHILLIPS in 1858 at Theddlethorpe All Saints, Lincolnshire. They immigrated to New Zealand on the ship "Whirlwind" in 1859. There were 8 known children.

Maria died in 1837 aged 4.

Rev. Daniel MOORE married Alice Thompson SPOOR (daughter of Rev. Joseph SPOOR and Alice THOMPSON) in July 1864 at Durham, Durham, England. There were 9 children: Catherine Ann b.1865, Joseph William b.1866, Fanny b.1868, Emma b.1870, Elizabeth Jane b.1871, George b. about 1873, James Arthur b. about 1875/6, Walter b.1877 and Henry Stevenson Lumley born 1879. Alice died at the time of giving birth to Henry.

Daniel later married Elizabeth CHERRY in about 1882 at Halifax, Yorkshire. They had a daughter, Kate Annie "Kit", born in 1883.
From research of Cyril Moor, he found that Daniel, at some time, added the 'e' to the end of Moor. There is quite a detailed essay about Daniel's life written by Henry Oliver.

George married Emma WALTERS and they had 7 seven children.

Elizabeth married Horby PHILLIPS (brother of Susan (above)) about 1860. It is believed they had 16 children, nine of whom died young. Horby and his children emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand in the ship "Rangitiki".

Frances was only 7 when she died in 1847.

Emma married Henry Oliver and had 2 children. She died in 1935 aged 88.

Joseph was the only child of Daniel and Alice to immigrate to New Zealand. He came out on the ship "Rangitiki" with his Uncle Horby PHILLIPS and his children in 1883.
Joseph married Amelia TOZER in October 1887 at Mahurangi Heads Church, Mahurangi, north of Auckland. Amelia was the fourth daughter of James TOZER and Elizabeth Sarah HEATH of Te Kapa, Mahurangi.
Joseph (known as Will) and Amelia had six children: Claude William born 1888; Daniel Victor, born 1891; Adela Mary Hazel born 1892; Myrtle Emily May, born 1895; Edna Amelia Holly, born 1897 and Zinnia Melva Edith, born 1902.

James was said to have immigrated to the USA in about the 1890's. Nothing more was ever heard of or from him again. It appears all enquiries the family made drew a blank.
