Note

2nd son; SHK; merchant at Peel; knighted 1781

Note

In 1776 George Moore, Ballamore, Isle of Man and (son) James Moore, merchant, Glasgow entered into partnership with six others trading as Moores, Carrick & Co for The Ship Bank, with a capital of Pounds Sterling 12, 000. It appears that by 1783 the Moores had withdrawn from the partnership when a new partnership was formed and the firm became Carrick, Brown & Co.
The history of the Ship Bank was dominated from 1775 to 1821 by the personality of the managing partner Robin Carrick.
The impact of the American War on Glasgow's tobacco trade was lessened by the development of trade in the alternative commodities of sugar and rum, and this recovery is reflected in the figures in the Ship Bank's balance sheets. In 1777, the balance sheet total was Pounds 120,352. By 1792 this had risen to Pounds346,638 and at the time of Carrick's death in 1821 had reached Pounds1,028,456.10s.

Note

Sir George Moore (1709-1787) was the Speaker of the House of Keys and their leader in the efforts to obtain better terms for Manx commerce after the Act of Revestment. It was largely due to his efforts that the Island was not annexed to Cumberland as previously planned. He was knighted in 1781, in recognition of his services. He was a major merchant very heavily involved in the running trade and owned various vessels. He was also a partner in a Glasgow bank.
