Note: Sir George Moore of Ballamoore was a merchant of Peel, on the Isle of Man, who dealt mainly in spirits. He

was knighted in 1781 for his role as speaker in the House of Keys. Sir George had three sons and three daughters,

one of his daughters, Margaret, in 1751 married John Quayle. John Quayle the Elder is recorded as being Clerk of

the Rolls, judge and Head of the Judiciary in the Isle of Man. This is a role his son and husband of Margaret also

adopted. George Quayle, likely the younger John’s son, is depicted in the uniform of the Manx Fencibles, an early

18th century regiment of the British Army based on the Isle of Man.
