According to Joseph J Byrne, Sr. Ethel was born in Harricott Newfoundland (birth certificate states Salmonier, Harricot) married Mark Moore in Newfoundland; had two children in Newfoundland and the moved to the United States. Ethel never had a profession or known work.

Mark was a cousin of Ethel's brother Vincent's wife Sarah Moore. Mark was a successful fisherman, but drank heavily. Ethel and Mark were separated later in life. Mark moved to an old Mariners Home in New York. Ethel died, possibly due to complications of Addison's Disease. She was living in assisted living in Somerville, MA.

Sons Leo and Joe joined the U.S. Merchant Marine prior to the beginning of WWII, but transferred to Army because it was safer. Vincent "Nonnie" worked for the state department in the consular corp. Worked as consul general in Wellington, New Zealand. He was gay and never married. Joe was career military. Most of the Moore sons relocated to the West Coast.

Hi Jay,

Where did you ever find my nana’s birth certificate? Thank you for uploading. Just so you know, papa (Mark Gregory Moore) died in an old home for Mariners in North Carolina. He was a heavy drinker with a very bad temper too!!

Also, it was my understanding that Mark (my father’s brother) took care of Nana until her death and from what my mother told me she was used as a Guinea pig for cortisone because of her severe arthritis, which may have given her the Addison’s disease. I will never forget that night in April 1974 when my mom received the phone call that Nana passed away. I only remember her from when I visited her home in Somerville, MA before leaving with Maryalice and her family to live in Florida back in early fall of 1970. Nana was not well then and may have been bedridden too. She saw I had a button missing from my coat and wanted to sew a button on it before leaving her home. Kindness and caring came naturally to her.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I only just noticed this comment. I found Ethel's birth certificate via scanned records in Newfoundland available now online - via this site: http://ngb.chebucto.org/ It's a good resource, but a little clunky, for NFLD stuff if you have the time to wade through it. My dad Joe was talking about your dad and uncles just this week as I asked him if any of his cousins were still living. I was updating these profiles for him when I saw your note. I see several duplicates here and will make some recommended mergers that will come your way for approval.
