Moon Family - missing from 1891 (Completed with thanks)
« on: Friday 04 July 08 20:15 BST (UK) »

Isaac Moon born  in Goosey, Berkshire abt 1855
Sarah Annie Moon born in Childrey, Berkshire  abt 1853
Melita Mary A Moon born in Faringdon, Berkshire abt 1883

Isaac and Sarah married in 1882 in Wantage.  By 1901 they were in West Bromwich, Staffs

I can't find them on the 1891 census.

I wondered whether any eagle-eyed Rootschatters might be able to help me?  Thanks in advance.  Smiley

Glad to be of help

the name is clearly MOON on the census

Tip if you know the names of the family enter the childs first name ONLY  in the search do NOT enter any surname.

Then enter ONLY the first name of both parents

Then enter a county

then Search

You quite often come up with an obvious mistranscribed record that is obvious  & very easily to pick out

Hope this helps Regards Judi

Thanks again.   I tried leaving both name boxes blank to  get an exact match but didn't think to use first names only, so I will try that next time I'm  stuck.    Smiley

Hi Janet, I am Descended from Joseph Moon of Holcombe Circa 1780 who is the great grandfather of your Isaac. Whilst I have the usual census information about the moon family I do not have an address for them at Goosey, perhaps you can help? I do have however a couple of pictures of Melita, one in cap and gown on the front of  a newspaper and another of her at a desk. The actual 1881 census for Goosey was taken by Isaac and I have a copy with his signature on. I am happy to exchange information with you if you wish, either direct or through this site. Smiley

Hi distant relative!  Cheesy    I was a Moon until I married.  Which of Joseph Moon's children do you descend from?

The only info I have is from the 1871 census which has them living at "80 Goosey".  I imagine that Goosey was a small village so wouldn't have had street names.  My mother-in-law lives in a hamlet where she is just addressed as number and village name.

Thanks for the offer of the photo/signature but I don't have anything to offer you in return for them. 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Mine is...

Joseph Moon Holcombe
Zebedee Moon Camerton
Isaac Moon Camerton/Goosey/Bilston (Staffs)/Barrow-in-Furness (Lancs - now Cumbria)
Henry (Harry) Moon - Bilston (Staffs)/Barrow-in-Furness (Lancs - now Cumbria)
Harold Moon - Barrow-in-Furness (Lancs - now Cumbria)/Kent
Raymond Moon - Crayford (Kent) - now living in Wiltshire
Janet Moon (me) - Chatham (Kent) - now living in Somerset

Sadly I'm the last of our line.

I'm rubbish at working these out, but I think my Dad's Grandad Henry and your Grandad Lawrence were cousins so you and my Dad are third cousins and we're third cousins once removed - but I'm probably wrong! 

Thanks again.  Smiley

ETA:  Have I got our Isaac's muddled?   My Isaac is George's brother - also born in Camerton.
