Search for Moore Nova Scotia Roots

The Researcher:

• completed a search of the marriage records of Pictou 1864-1890 and Digby 1850-1900 for the Moore surname. I was attempting to locate the William /Jane marriage or that of a sibling. of James Smith Moore , one having the parent combination William and Jane with negative results
• completed a like search into the births and deaths of Pictou and Digby records 1864-1877 with negative results.
• completed a search of the 1861 Census of Digby searching for William Moore families. Two were located both having a male child in the proper age bracket. Further investigation in the 1871 and 1881 Census did not locate Jane as a wife. A search of the 1851 and 1871 Census of Pictou was negative for a William/Jane Moore household
• completed a search of the deeds of Digby 1785- 1888 . While there were a number of transaction concerning the christian name of William no grantors had a wife named Jane. Without the proper combination no attempt was made to search the remaining entries.
• completed a search of the Index to Christian Messenger 1836-1856 ( (a Baptist newspaper) and that of the Presbyterian Witness 1848- 1908( a simlilar newspaper concerning Presbyterians) Also Vital Statistics from New Brunswick newspapers 1837-1857 .... abandoned further search as it was consuming precious time and the Moore entries had no Nova Scotia base. While searching the 1861 Digby Census search .... documented the presence of a Charles McCullouch family. No further attempt was made to link him with the Moores.
