Historical context

These background articles explain the places, work, and events in this entry.

What we still don't know

• Where in Ireland, when he came out, what he did, and when he died. Every record naming him is a record about his daughter.
• If the 1905 state census household is his family's, he was dead by then, since his wife heads it. That rests on an identification that is probable and not proved.
• [CANDIDATE REJECTED] An 1880 census Stephen Moore — 35, born Ireland, a labourer in New York City, wife Susan, children George, Sarah, Erastus, Margaret and Bertha — fits on both parents' names and origins but has Sarah aged 8 where ours would have been one. See Sarah's page.
• [CONTROLLED NEGATIVE] With the surname corrected to Dugan, two searches that could not be run before were run and both came back empty: no marriage of a Stephen Moore to a Dugan anywhere in New York, and no child of any Moore–Dugan couple born 1865–1890 outside Ireland and Pennsylvania. Every record naming this couple is still a record about their daughter Sarah.
• [THE DEATH INDEX CANNOT REACH THIS PERSON, AND HERE IS WHY] `nycvitals sweep` prunes same-name rows using the index's age column, which needs a birth year to compare against. This page has none, so the age column is inert and the sweep returns a list that cannot be shortened — seventeen candidates for Susan Moore, five for Stephen Moore, hundreds for John Mayer. Nothing has been attached. Reaching this person needs a parent-naming document — a marriage, birth or death certificate belonging to one of their children — not another index sweep. Finding 161.
