Moores

The name Moore crops up several times in my tree but I'm having trouble identifying which family/ies they come from. Does anyone researching Moores recognise these people?

Jane MOORE, full age, father Richard Moore, labourer, married Thomas Richard Cavendish, full age, car proprietor, of Douglas, father Richard Cavendish, carter, on 20 June 1871 at Kirk Braddan. Censuses give a birthplace of Port St Mary for Jane and a d.o.b. range of 1846-48. She is sometimes recorded on children's birth records as Jane Maria. He was baptised 26 April 1846 at Kirk Michael.

Elizabeth MOORE married Richard Cavendish 7 June 1845 at Kirk German, according to the IGI. Censuses have her born in German/Peel about 1826. He was baptised 11 Jan 1824 at Jurby (IGI). They were the parents of the above Thomas Richard Cavendish.

Caesar MOORE married Robina Catherine Collister on 25th Feb 1897 at Santon. The 1901 census has them at the Nunnery Howe, Braddan. He was aged 34, a farmer's son born Malew and she is 27, housekeeper domestic, born Santon. Head of the household is Caesar's widower father Robert Moore, 74, farmer, born Arbory.

Is anyone out there working on these Moore families and willing to share?
