Edith Emma Moore, born Rackenford, March 1865, daughter of Sarah Moore

[Tom Piper]

Well everyone that theory is partly correct, because Eliza Moore, born 1843, Rackenford,  the widow of John Moore, did marry a John Kirk in Boston, because in the 1881 Census, she is in Boston, married to John Kirk, a boot dealer, born County Down, Ireland with a family as well. In that same census, Edith Emma Moore her daughter with her previous husband is at the home of James Kirk, also born in Ireland, so most likely John's brother, seeing as James Kirk's father is John Kirk. James G. Kirk, son of John Kirk ,married Sarah Scott, daughter of James Scott at Enniskillen,Ferm,Ireland on 30th November 1860. In that census for 1881, James Kirk born Ireland is living in Boston, Lincolnshire, with his wife Sarah Kirk nee Scott, born Enniskillen, Ireland-also there is her aunt Sarah Scott. In a court case in 1882, John Kirk gives evidence and says he is partnership with his brother James Greenfield Kirk in a boot and shoe business.

So thanks everyone for your imput-reckon it was just a matter of partners. I still would like to know that source please Old Bristolian.

Sorry Tom, for not giving details. It's taken from the Tiverton PR, images on Find My Past. If you don't have access to that, it is usually available in your local library. If not, send me a pm. The marriage I found on Free BMD - you'd have to get the cert. to see the details,
