Sir Emanuel Moore, the 9th Baronet, was born in 1786 in Cork and died in Castletown, Isle of Man, on 23rd May 1849.  He was the son of Sir Richard Moore and Jane Travers, both of Cork
On 28th September 1809, he married Ellen Gillman (1790 - circa 1844).

Their children were:
1)  Sir Richard Emanuel Moore, 10th Baronet (18th August 1810, Maryborough, Cork - 23rd June 1882).  He married Mary Anne O'Connor (born 1815, Kilgobbin House, Cork).

2)  Alleyne Moore, 1811 - 25th October 1842 in Clonmel, Tipperary.

3) Charles Moore, born circa 1812 in Cork, emigrated to the USA at some stage. Charles Moore's son was named as the heir presumptive to his nephew, Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, the 11th Baronet, who was the son of the 10th Baronet.

4)  Jane Moore, born 1813.

5)  Maskylene Alcock Moore, born 1815.

6) Herbert Gillman Moore, born 1818 in Cork, died 20th August 1872 in Dublin.  He married, in Dublin in 1851, Mary Courtenay, the sister of our great-great-great grandmother, Emily Courtenay.  Herbert and Mary's son, Walter Emanuel Moore, married his first cousin, Anna-Maria Pennefather, who was the sister of our great-great grandmother, Isabella Anna Pennefather.

7) Hastings Percival Moore, born 1820.

8)  Catherine Moore, born 1822.

9)  William Moore, born 1824.

The 10th baronet Sir Richard Emanuel Moore:
Richard Emanuel Moore married Mary Ann O'Connor in 1839, the daughter of Arthur Ryan O'Connor of Kilgobbin House,  Cork.  Their children were:
  a) Richard Henry Percival O'Connor Moore (1839 - 1857).
  b)  Margaret Helena Moore (1844 - 1846).
  c)  Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, 11th Baronet (1845 - 1926)
  d)  Stephen O'Connor Moore, emigrated.  Stephen Moore was the heir apparent of his brother, Thomas, but the heir presumptive was named as the son of Charles Moore who was the son of the 9th Baronet, Emanuel Moore.  The heir presumptive was generally the next-in-line to the heir apparent and would take the title if the heir apparent died young.

Richard Emanuel Moore's first wife, Mary Ann, died in May 1847 at Bandon;  she died of fever at the height of the Great Famine.  Later, in August of the same year, Richard Emanuel's aunt, Anne Moore, daughter of Sir Richard Emanuel and Anne Travers, died at her residence in Glanmire Road, Cork
Richard Emanuel Moore, 10th Baronet, married a second time, to Margaret Matilda O'Connor (1815 - 1898), sister to the MP Feargus O'Connor and to the barrister, Thomas Forrest O'Connor.  Margaret's father was Roger O'Connor, whose brother was Arthur O'Connor.  Margaret may therefore have been the first cousin of Richard Emanuel Moore's first wife, Mary Anne O'Connor.
(O'Connor, Feargus 1794-1855, Chartist leader, son of Roger O'Connor of Connorville, co. Cork, and nephew of Arthur O'Connor, was born on 18 July 1794.)
The son of Magaret Matilda and Richard Emanuel Moore was named Emanuel Adolphus Moore (1854 - 1874).        The Index to Registration records the death of an Emanuel O'Connor Moore - 1854 - 1874 - in Cork.  Could be the same man.

Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, 11th Baronet:
Sir Emanuel Moore was known to have mortgaged his Cork family estates to such an extent that they had to be sold off in the Landed Estates Court of the late 1840s. The 10th Baronet, Sir Richard Emanuel Moore, was known to have fallen on hard times, and worked as a prison officer, first at Spike Island, Cork, and then in Dublin. His son, the 11th Baronet, Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, was likewise lacking in money.
From The New York Times of May 17th 1899:  'London, May 16 - Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore, 11th Baronet, who succeeded his father, Sir Richard Emanuel Moore, in 1882, has been ejected from his lodgings owing to his inability to pay a shilling for a week's accommodation.  The heir to the title is his brother Stephen, now living abroad.  Although the heir apparent to the Baronetcy of Moore (creation 1681) of Ross Carbery, Cork, is Mr. Stephen Moore, brother of the present Baronet, the heir presumptive is the eldest son of the late Mr. Charles Moore of a collateral branch, who left Ireland for the United States some years ago.  Mr. Charles Moore was a son of the late Emanuel Moore, the 9th Baronet.'

Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore was noted on the 1911 Census at 36 Wellington Road, Cork, along with his wife, Katherine Matilda, who had been born Katherine Matilda Elphinstone.  They had been married three years but had no children.  Both had been born in Cork.  They were Catholic although Katherine had been born Protestant.
Katherine was the daughter of John George Elphinstone, a merchant with the East India Company, who lived at Aberdeen and Passage West, Cork.  In 1839 he married Catherine Vereker Pain, the daughter of the architect George Richard Pain who, along with his brother James Pain, was a pupil of the English architect John Nash.  George Richard Pain and his brother came to Ireland in the late eighteenth century, James settling in Limerick and George Richard in Cork.  George Richard Pain built St. Patricks Church on the Lower Glanmire Road amongst others.
John George Elphinstone, captain of the 'British Queen', died in Port Glasgow in 1838 and his widow gave birth to a daughter early the following year.  This must be Katherine Matilda Howard Elphinstone who married, in 1908, Thomas O'Connor Moore, although she lies outrageously about her age on both the censuses!
Katherine's widowed mother, Kate Elphinstone, married the curate of St.Anne's, Cork, the Rev. Richard Tottenham, and the 1851 census for Co. Antrim captured the family in Killead, Co. Antrim.  They had  a daughter born in Cork - Belinda aged 5 - and two young children born in Antrim - Edward aged 2 and Sarah aged 1.  13 year old Catherine Elphinstone was also present.
Kate Matilda Elphinstone, the daughter of the late Captain John George Elphinstone,  married John Monteeth Howard, the son of Richard Howard, in Limerick City on 22nd January 1859.   They appeared on the 1901 census - John Howard was a Limerick-born civil engineer, while Catherine called herself 'Catalina'.
John must have died sometime after, and the widowed Katherine Matilda Elphinstone Howard married Sir Thomas O'Connor Moore in Cork in 1908.  On the 1911 census, she stated her age to be 45, although in reality she was 73!  Her husband, Thomas O'Connor Moore, was 66.
