Life and family
Henry Moore was born in Cranbrook, Kent, in 1849. He was the son of the Reverend Edward Moore and Lady Harriet Janet Sarah Montagu-Scott, who was one of the daughters of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch. One of his brothers, Arthur, became an admiral and was knighted. Their great
grandfather was John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 to 1805.[1] One of their sisters was a maid of honour to Queen Victoria.[2]
Moore went to New Zealand in the 1870s and lived in Geraldine and Christchurch. He married Henrietta Lysaght of Hawera, and they had one son.[2] In May 1884 she died a few days after giving birth to a daughter, who also died.[3]
In 1886 Moore became a Justice of the Peace in Geraldine.[4] In 1897 he married Alice Fish of Geraldine.[5] They moved to England four years before his death in 1916.[2]
Cricket career
Moore was a right-handed middle-order batsman. In consecutive seasons, 1876-77 and 1877-78, playing for Canterbury, he made the highest score in the short New Zealand first-class season: 76 and 75 respectively.[6][7] In 1877-78 he was a member of the Canterbury team that inflicted the only defeat on the touring Australians.[8] In 1896-97, at the age of 47, he top-scored in each innings for a South Canterbury XVIII against the touring Queensland cricket team.[9]
