Ananias Mooren

[1962lyndonrees]

Hi i was looking for some info on the parents of my great grandfather Ananias Mooren.
all i know is his fathers name is Thomas MOORING and his mothers Mary BLAND.
I believe they were travellers as i' ve had some info before but haven't had much luck finding anything else since, it's been about two years.
an 1881 census shows they were living in tents somewhere near Henley i would apprieciate any further information. Thank you.

Tents, Smiths Orchard, Kingswood
Moses Mooren 67? travelling tinker bn Woodstock
Ann 47 wife Peddlar bn Caversham
Amedine 23 unm dtr bn Headington Quarry - Deaf
William 21 son unm bn Shippam Berks
Imanuel 13 son bn Oxfordshire
Freedom 11 dtr bn Oxfordshire
Julia 9 dtr bn Oxfrodshire
Liberty 2 son bn Oxfordshire

and another household -
Tents Smiths Field Kingswood

When was your Ananias born?  Where did you find his parents names and mothers maiden name from - do you have his birth cert?

In case they are linked and can lead us to Ananias's family - here is the family that I found in 1881 (Moses and Ann & co) ten years earlier, wife seems to change between Ann, Mary and MAry Ann on various censuses.

Hi

I have a tree on Ancestry with Ananias Mooren born 1858 - 1942 {reg as Mooring}

08 October 1883 he married a Henrietta Tame {born  Kingston Lyle} at  Sutton Courtenay and gives his father as Thomas Mooren labr

Before her marriage to Ananias Henrietta had a son and he connects {loosely!}to a branch of my family

I have not found Ananias before 1881 although in later census' he gives his place of birth as Nettlebed

Both Mooren/Moorhen and Tame are mis spelt in the various census

Ananias may have married again as Henrietta died in 1914

Both are buried at Sutton Courtenay

Hi thanks for info i was on this site about two years ago and a source gave me info that Ananias' parents were Thomas Mooring and Mary Bland. The Mooren Name which was my mothers' maiden name has been difficult to trace back and may have been misspelt along the way with Mooren,Moorhen and Mooring names given. I can go no further than Thomas Mooring and i was given info that Thomas and Mary never married as there is no marriage date or place. Ananias was born on 5 April 1858 and married Henrietta Tame on 8 October 1883.They had four sons, one of them Clarence,being my grandfather.i heard from a family member that Ananias made and sold pegs for a living something travellers often did.

Have you got Ananias's birth cert to conform him parentage?
