This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not been added yet.
Photos of individuals can be found in their Scrapbooks. To see who has them click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding feature pages containing an improved presentation of notes, photos and links. These are slowly being added and modified so please check every few weeks.
NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
I still have a lot of data and feature pages to add, and many of the notes need tidying up but any new information is welcome. If you find any errors or would like to update your line please let me know. Bean

In 1828 (the year he married, aged 23, and his father died) he built on this site the house, 23 Knightrider Street, Doctors Commons. His family lived on the upper floors and the business was run from the ground floor. He died of chest troubles (TB?), aged 44 and a son (in-law Currey?) took over business (his sons would have been too young). William took over when he was 21, seven years later, Philip C. Moore.

His behaviour was sometimes unusualand he was certainly considered an eccentric in the eyes ofmany adults. As a batchelor he made the most of his life . Hewas an architect by profession and probably a good one. Therewas a story that he helped with the construction of StThomas's Hospital. While working on the roof he chanced tolook through a skylight . He was sickened to see a patientundergoing an abdominal operation and he all but fell thoughthe glass..(Some say he did fall through). In his sitting-roomat Oakfield he had a model of a chimney stack with a specialsystem, that he had invented, to stop it smoking.. He kept adetailed diary of all his activities which are said to be veryboring to read and went into many volumes.. They were alsodifficult to store and consequently eventualy destroyed. Theydescribed his numerous journeys thoughout the world whichincluded Europe, Africa and New Zealand. He may also have goneto America , Canada and Jamaica. While in Norway he lost hisring when on a trip to the North Cape. Several years laterhe returned to the same spot and found the ring to be stillthere. He had a good collectiom of Magic Lantern slides. Thoseof New Zealand that I remember seemed to be mostly ofmagnificant ferns. " wedmoore
