28 October 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. This edition sees an attempt to get further back into the 16th and 17th centuries of the family of Moffat of that Ilk. The majority of birth and death dates are conjecture, as most of the individuals figure fleetingly in a reference to a Deed, a Sasine, a Court Summons or an Indictment. The point is to provide a background for identifying Robert Moffat, who served the King of Sweden during the 17th Century. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:
  • Robert Moffat, ca 1615 - 1673 who served the King of Sweden during the 30-years War, married the noble Elizabeth Rutensköld and had a family, whose descendents live in Sweden to this day. Acknowledgements to Jeff Benson, "Moffats in Sweden", Clan Moffat UK Newsletter, Oct 2009, and Ingalill Lundgren, researcher contributing to anbytarforum, Sweden;
  • Major revisions in the family of John Moffat and Mary Mounsey, who lived late 18th, early 19th century, and their many descendents around Penrith, Cumberland. Acknowledgement to Colene Vincent and Susan Lowes;
  • Another major revision of the family of John Moffit and Jane Marshall, whose lives spanned the 19th century, of the dynasty of millers in Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland, who owned and worked the Mill for nearly 200 years. Grateful acknowledgement to Debra Wright.

1 October 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. A correction to the background of Alice Loeffler, second wife of Robert Unwin Moffat. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:
  • George Moffat, b 1847, Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire, master mariner from Liverpool, and his wife, Elizabeth Carswell;
  • George Craig Moffat, b 1883 Glasgow;
  • Michael Moffatt (1891-1948) from Wigan, and his wife Margaret Hansbury ;
  • William Dow Moffat (1849-1920), golf club manufacturer from Musselburgh;
  • William Moffat and his wife Agnes O'Neill, and their dynasty of shipyard workers in Partick, Glasgow;
  • Charles Henry Oliver (1846-1916) of Sunderland, who married Mary Moffatt.

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."
