Biographical history

Thomas Walter Moores, 1856-1943, was born in Camberwell, England, and ran a grocery business in Hampshire. In 1884 he married Lillian Garland, 1860-1941, who was born at Southall, Middlesex, England. They had eight children, Mabel (Harris), Leonard, Eustace, Ethel (Churchill), Helena, Beatrice (died in infancy), Cyril and Olive (Lockhart). The family came to Canada in 1904 or 1905 and homesteaded near Invermay, Saskatchewan. In about 1929 the senior Moores retired to Lethbridge, Alberta.

Custodial history
