My great-great-great-grandparents Thomas Moor and Sarah Wilson married in Gainsborough in 1837, therefore they would both have been born about 1815, probably in also Gainsborough. Can some kind person look up their births?
Thank you very much in advance,
Simon Rollitt

This could be them on the 1851 census
2120/231
Morton
Thomas MOORE 38 Malster's Lab, Notts
Sarah 34
Robert 13 AgLab
John 12 Scholar, Notts Gringley
Sarah Ann 10 Scholar
Elizabeth 8 Scholar
George 6 Scholar
Thomas 3
William 1
Others born Morton
The baptisms may possibly be found at www.familysearch.org - but the site doesn't seem to be working properley today.

Wonderful Geoff. I'll check these out - but it seems probable since successive Moore families lived in Morton in Gainsborough.
Great news - thanks very much.

It's definately the correct family - my great-great-grandfather Thomas was born in 1848 and his brother George fits too. So his father Thomas was born about 1813 in Nottinghamshire - probably Gringley, and his wife Sarah (Wilson) in about 1817 in Morton. I don't suppose you have access to any other censuses for Morton that show the family too?
Thanks for your help,
Simon

You mentioned at the end that Thomas Moore was buried on 25 Jan 1851 in Morton aged 50. That must be 1861.
