  • Douglas McLeod Moffatt, honoured for War Service in Elmwood Presbyterian Church, Belfast.

1 April 2012 An update to the Clan Moffat Society database:
  • Added the family of Clan Moffat Society's newest member - Mia Jäverling of Sweden who has connections to the descendants of Robert Moffat (see Robert Moffat and Robert Moffat) who lived in Sweden in the early 1600s;
  • tidied up some of the line of Robert Moffats who were Clan Chief from the late 1400s until the Clan became “heidless” in the late 1500s to match the lineage deduced by Colin Moffat.

22 March 2012 Added Santiago Armandas Moffat (1913-1994) and his family from Punta Arenas, Chile.
29 February 2012 Added more references from the 1911 Census of England. Also:

  • * Flight Sergeant Alan Raymond Moffatt, whose Avro Lancaster WA778 crashed in the night of 2/3 August 1943 into the Waddensea near Harlingen, Netherlands, on its return from a bombing mission in Germany.

27 January 2012 A simple update, with a few additions and corrections, focusing on spouses of Moffats. They include:
  • Florence Cowin, Isle of Man, who married Charles Moffitt;
  • Philippa Richards of Cornwall, who first married John Nicholas, and second married Benjamin Moffatt. They emigrated to Sloatsburg, New York State, where Benjamin became Superintendent of the Sterling Iron and Railway Company;

  • Some early census references to Alphonso Elkin Cumberbatch, who married Alice Lucy Moffatt.

28 December 2011 This month sees the addition of data on UK Moffats from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. This relates to soldiers who died during WW1 and WW2, as well as civilian casualties. In most cases, the soldier's rank, Service personnel nr, battalion and Regiment are given. Also the War Cemetery, or War Memorial, and grave number within the Cemetery or Memorial. This data will provide an easy entry point for searching military records, or assist in planning a visit to the Cemetery or Memorial. Much more data on locating the cemetery, or relevant to the historical context of the soldier's death are to be found on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. Also:
  • Updates for the family of David Moffat (1815-1894) and Janet Murray (1819-1904). He was a farmer at Burnfoot, Ayrshire and Muirfad, Kirkmabreck, Kirkcudbrightshire. David and Janet had ten children, the families of all of whom are now documented.

30 November 2011 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. October 2011. This completes the Irish counties for 1901 and 1911. This has been quite a major effort, and has added some 2,500 new entries. It gives the entire Irish Moffat(t), Moffet(t), Moffit(t) population for 1901/11. Other updates:
  • Updates for the family of Gavin Moffat (1824-1902) and Esther. He was a farmer at Burnfoot and Kames Farms in Muirkirk, Ayrshire. Gavin and Esther had nine children, the families of all of whom are now documented.
  • More information on the family of Thomas Moffatt (1885-1960), son of Shetlands islander Thomas Moffat (1853-1935), who emigrated to New Zealand. Thomas jr and his wife Jean had 14 children, and the details of those who have passed away are now visible.
  • More on John Moffat (1852-1917) of Berwickshire, and his wife Elizabeth Simpson, who crossed and re-crossed the border between Scotland and England
  • Edward Ernest Muffett (1902-1951), joiner, carpenter and timber merchant of the Muffett family from Bromley, Kent, England
  • Correction in naming the lady who married William Moffat, b 1853, Workington, Cumberland as Margaret Ann Goulding (1853-1904).

1 November 2011 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. October 2011. This month concludes the 1901 Irish census data with data from Counties Sligo, Tyrone, Antrim, Armagh and Down. Data from 1911 is becoming available, and the entries for people named Moffat (and variants) from Wales, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are included.
Updates for the family of Isaac Moffat (1826-1871) and Mary Ann Giles. He was a Thames Lighterman, as was his son James Moffatt, who married Amy Jenkinson, and all of whose children are now listed.

20 September 2011 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. September 2011. This month includes the 1901 Irish census data from Counties Dublin, Cavan, Donegal, Londonderry and Fermanagh, as well as the remaining additions and corrections derived from a visit to GRO Edinburgh in August.

28 July 2011 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. July 2011. This month sees the start of incorporating data from the Irish censuses of 1901 and 1911, starting with the 1901 data from Cork, Leitrim, Mayo, Monaghan, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. This will continue throughout the coming months.
Spellings are variable, so look out for Moffit(t), and Moffet(t) in addition to the more usual Moffat(t).

28 June 2011 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. Various corrections, and extra added dates, and information on the following:
  • The family of James Moffatt and Elizabeth Delaney from Birr, County Offaly, Ireland, who settled in Sheffield, Yorkshire, working in the stainless steel and cutlery industries.

2 Apr 2008 - We are pleased to announce that our genealogical database has been augmented by the addition of some 15,000 new “Moffat” entries, as compiled by the genealogist of the Clan Moffat UK & Eire. These entries are mostly limited to Great Britain,  and limited to those bearing the name “Moffat” (or variant), as well as the husbands of Moffat women who marry. Its major advantage is that it contains ALL the Moffats resident in England, Scotland and Wales listed in the 1881 census, so that if your Moffat ancestor was in Great Britain during 1881, s/he will be in the database. Conversely, if s/he is missing, you can assume the person to be deceased, to have emigrated or, in the case of women, to have married and be using a different surname. Our goal is to increase the coverage to all Moffats listed in the UK Censuses 1841 – 1901. Please click here for a more detailed description of the database.
This database will be upgraded on a monthly basis. If you have corrections or additions to this database, please submit them to the genealogist using the SUGGEST facility, so that they can be incorporated in a subsequent upgrade.

Peter Craven
A researcher writes "I am hoping to get into the DAR and the only thing I am missing is something connecting the above Peter Craven to his son, John R. Craven (1793-1858). I have proved that Peter is Thomas, Esq's son and that John R. is Eli's father (my great great grandfather). Do you know if Peter made a will? I have Thomas's will and John R's." If anyone can help please contact us through this site.
