John Moore and his wife, Margaret Moore (née Considine), were early European pioneers who settled in around 1843 in the North East of what was then known as the Port Phillip District of the Colony of New South Wales and is now the State of Victoria. Like the great majority of their fellow settlers, neither John nor Margaret was born in Australia.John Moore was born in Woodchurch, Kent in 1816. He emigrated from England to New South Wales in 1838 when 22 years of age. In contrast, Margaret Considine was born at Sixmilebridge, County Clare in about 1818. She first arrived from Ireland in New South Wales in 1836 aged 18 years old.Both John and Margaret came from poor rural stock. The prospect of a better life in Australia was no doubt the prime motivation for each to independently migrate across the world to New South Wales.
