I would appreciate some expert help !
I am trying to find the baptism record for James Moore. I know from census records in 1871, 1881 and 1891 that he was born in Devonport around 1835. I have identified his wife and children, but I am struggling a little to tie down his parents and siblings and link him to the right family.
He married Mary Sampson Shaw on 21st October 1869 at East Stonehouse, St George. His father is James Moore, both James and his father were mariners of sorts. I think Devonport is in the parish of Stoke Damerel, but neighbouring parishes of Plymouth St Andrews and East Stonehouse may be key to his baptism record. I have not found an obvious baptism record yet on FindMyPast or FamilySearch, I do not have access to the Devon parish registers
I have a hunch on his siblings, I think they are:
Edwin Vincent Marshall Moore b 16 Apr 1826 bapt: 3 Jul 1826 Wesleyan church, Devenport
Valentine Hambleton Moore b 27 Dec 1827 bapt: 3 Mar 1828 Weslayan church, Devenport
Elizabeth Collings Moore b 17 Feb 1830
the two older sons were baptised again in an Anglican church on 27th Oct 1830 together with Elizabeth, parents given as James Moore and Elizabeth.
I did find the following 1841 census record which may be the right one.
Elizabeth Moore aged 45 Seamans wife living at Palace Yard, Stoke Damerel
Elizabeth Moore aged 11
James Moore aged 5
I have not found any of them yet in 1851. Edwin and Valentine show up in subsequent census records as coast guards in Hastings and St Austell
So in summary, I want to find the baptism of James Moore born circa 1835 and prove his parents and siblings. Any help or advice on this case is much appreciated.
