Karen - I went to Westridge School (1962 to 1967) with two Muldoons who were in the same year as me,  Barry and his cousin Margaret (known as Maggie) both approx 70 years old - I'm still in contact with Barry.  If Barry and Maggie appear on the family tree you're building I'd be quite happy to email Barry to see if he has any info.

Hi, my Dads cousin was called Ralph Muldoon, sorry but don’t know DOB. I imagine he would be in his 80,s . My Dad would have been 84 now 😞

Welcome to the group @Karen Gowing. 

I can't give you any info on the Moore family but might be able to help you with info on the Bedlington area.

Were you raised in Bedlington? Top End or Bedlington Station?

I see you have already made use on the Gallery creating your album 'Bill Moore' In the Historic Bedlington section of the gallery we have an album for the past and present Bedlington schools so it could be that there are some photos of your family in those albums. Do you know any of the schools your family went to?

 

 

My Dad went to Whitley Memorial. I have seen a football picture of him 52-53 seniors, which was great to see. He lived with his Grandma, my great grandma Lynn on Shiny row, with his Mother Alice ( Moore, then Waldie) Nee Lynn. They moved around a lot apparently. They also lived at Lilly Avenue. His cousin was called Ralph Muldoon, who married someone called Kitty. I believe they had a son who was killed by the IRA when he was in the Army at Ireland.  I have very limited information.

Leslie Moore went into the Army and then we think he may of lived in Newcastle??

I hope someone knows of them.

My Dad , Bill, was born 18/03/1938. Leslie was older, but don’t know his DOB. I’ll have to ask my Mam if she can remember names and dates.

My Dad Bill Moore, grew up in Bedlington. He had a bother called Leslie. They fell out ?? Approx 1964. I know very little about my Dads family as he never talked about them and he never wanted me to look them up. He sadly died 4 years ago, and I’m trying to do a family tree. I have loads of info from my Mams side, but not my Dads. My grandma ( Dads Mam) was Alice Lynn, she married William Moore and had my Dad and Leslie. She divorced my Grandad and remarried Bill Waldie.
My grandads family were originally from Southern Ireland. My Dads grandma maiden name was Muldoon, and I know he had a cousin in Bedlington with the name Muldoon.
I wonder if Leslie is still alive? Did he marry, did he have children? Why did they fall out and stop communicating?

im hoping someone can remember the family and fill in a few blanks. Thank you
