From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick Charles Moir (around 1870) was an Anglican priest.

Educated at Selwyn College, Cambridge (1893),[1] his first post was as a curate at St Peter, Glasgow.[2] After this he was the incumbent at St John, Dumfries[3] and then Provost of St Paul's Cathedral, Dundee,[4] a post he held from 1907 until[5] 1920. Later he held posts at St Columba, Largs[6] and St John Aberdeen[7] before retiring in 1940. The 1947-48 Crockford's Clerical Directory states that he had permission to officiate in the Diocese of Moray, Ross and Caithness.[8]
