Belinda,
Can you explain what the word Denismoyne references. Is it a town name? Where is it located? Surname?
The only reference I found to Denismoyne was in Australia.
John Joseph O'Brien (1930-2016) - Find a Grave Memorial John's gravestone identifies Denismoyne, Speed, (Australia) as his birthplace.
There is also a business in Speed with the Denismoyne name, Denismoyne Pty Ltd. I think it's a dentist.
I think Speed has been renamed to SpeedKills.
Irish meaning of Moyne- a little plain.
Moyne also could mean monk.
The name Moyne reached England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Moyne is for a monk. Further research showed the name was derived from the Old English word munuc, of the same meaning, and would indicate that the original bearer was a Monk in the medieval period (celibacy among monks was not generally adopted until the later Middle Ages, so some of them would have had families). On the other hand, the surname may be a nickname to describe someone who was perhaps a recluse.
Moyne Name Meaning, Family History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Someone named Denis might have the surname Moyne, was a monk or recluse, or came from Moyne (there are several places in Ireland with that name).
