This query is in connection with David Moyes - one of my 3 x great grandparents.

David Moyes died intestate (11 March 1901). An inventory of his estate was registered in 1903. There was 15s cash with the furniture and other effects valued at £10. However, there was also the following:
'Deceased's share in the estate of James Moyes, grocer and wine merchant, North Berwick, all as per scheme of division declared by the judicial factor of the said deceased James Moyes. £270 7s 6d.'
Who was James Moyes? How is he related to David?
James Moyes died on 23 May 1897 in North Berwick. His estate was valued at £873 10s 6d. He was also intestate.
James Moyes was in North Berwick in 1891 with his sister Margaret and an aunt named Margaret Arnot.

Ditto 1881.

In 1871, James and his sister Margaret are in Edinburgh with their aunt, Margaret Arnott. All three are born in Inverkeithing.

In 1851, James and his sister Margaret with their parents in Inverkeithing.
Alexander Moyes, 47, shoemaker, b Inverkeithing
Agnes Moyes, 44, b Inverkeithing
James Moyes, 5, scholar, b Inverkeithing
Margaret Moyes, 2, b Inverkeithing
Margaret Scott, 50, sister, b Inverkething
(Alexander Moyes married Agnes Arnott on 24 April 1843 in Inverkeithing - a second marriage perhaps? There is another Alexander Moyes married to an Agnes Barclay knocking around, too, to confuse matters.)
David Moyes, my 3x great-grandparent, was born in 1808, son of David Moyes and Helen Carfrae. His siblings were Rosina/Robina (b 1806), John (b 1810), Alexander (b 1815) and Samuel b (1817).
On this surface, this suggests that James the grocer and wine merchant was the nephew of my David. But he isn't.
First, there is the age difference, My Alexander was born in 1815. The one on the census was born c1804.
Then there is a birth of an Alexander Moyes in Inverkeithing in 1803, son of James Moyes and Jean Tod.
There is also a death of an Alexander Moyes, shoemaker, in 1866 in Inverkeithing, age 58, son of James Moyes, shoemaker (dec), and Jane Todd (dec). Agnes Moyes, wife of Alexander, died in 1856, age 51, dau of Andrew Arrnot shoemaker (dec) and Margaret Arnott nee Young (dec).
So how on earth was my David Moyes related to James Moyes? :confused:
