During a search of the Hampshire Record Office I found mention of a couple of Wills that could belong to my Morze family, albiet the Wills are spelt Mose or Moaze.  There are 5 Wills dating from 1719 - 1759.

I thought I would download the Will dated 1719 for Richard Mose (Moaze) of South Hayling - Yeoman.

However when I searched the National Archives for the Wills I can't seem to find any of them mentioned anywhere despite trying wildcards, just entering occupation or South Hayling.

Could anyone advise me if all Wills prior to 1858 have been deposited at the Archives and I should continue searching? 

If all else fails I could order the Will from the Hampshire Record Office but it is dearer than the National Archives download and it would take a little time to get here to NZ by snail mail.

According to the 1861 census John WICKENDEN was living at 8 Words Place, St Pauls, Deptford with his parents Joseph & Mary WICKENDEN aged 14 and born in 1847, Sussex.

He doesn't appear at this address in 1871.

On 4 June 1876 he married Mary Matilda MORZE at All Saints, Stratcham, Surrey, his address is listed as Besson Street and his occupation is carman.

I suspect he died 1878 Greenwich at the age of 32 so he doesn't appear in the 1881 census.

Any help find John would be much appreciated.

Could I please ask for help from someone who may be able to help with Robert.

From the 1891 census I have found Robert Simpson advised his birthplace as Walker, Northumberland, age 30.

I have his marriage certificate in 1886 Sunderland and his father is listed also named Robert and also a coalminer.

I think I have traced the family in the 1881 census to Denton, Burn where Robert Snr has listed his bplace as Newburn and Robert Jnr bplace is also Newburn and both coalminers.

Is Newburn, Northumberland any where near Walker Northumberland?  I do hope I am on to the right family
:-).  Thanks for any help.
