Kathleen, if you can give us some proper info about your Moorers (birth dates, census, etc) then perhaps we may be able to give you some proper assistance.

Have you tried looking for them in Canada? A lot of Canadian immigrants travelled via America.

A brief glance at the 1870, 1880 and 1900 US census (1890 largely destroyed) has failed to identify any Moorer's who were born in England who may have been those who landed in New York between 1841~1886.

I have also looked at UK incoming passenger lists from 1878 onwards but no sign of them returning to the UK either I'm afraid.

Jonesey many thanks for the information.
Marieceleste I have no idea what the AA stands for sorry
Tenerife sun thanks for the extra information.
I know of a William Moore born about the correct time and his parents were William and Jane Moorer so perhaps it is mother and son
Thomas is a family name
Where did you get this additional information?

Do these people turn up on any USA census returns? how can I find out what happened to them in the US/

Sincere thanks for all the help so far

On the a original for Chris I think his age is 40 but he is a farmer and not travelling with other Moorer's. It does also say Chris'r for Christopher and Male

Thomas b 1857 was a Blacksmith

Jane was listed as wife of William but there is a BIG age difference. 28 years

I am trying to trace the Moorer family. I have the basic ancestry but I see that there is a record of Moorers going into USA as follows:-
Thomas Moorer
A A Moorer
Jane Moorer
William Moorer
Chris Moorer
These from England or UK but I am unable to see any further details.
Would someone with worldwide ancestry sunscription look these up for me and let me have any further information give please.

This family is very small in origin and any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks kathy
