Title: Looking for Marriage or Death record for Emily Kelk (b.1828 Halifax, NS)
Post by: newmodernist on Friday 14 September 18 07:59 BST (UK)

I'm trying to trace a William Moore, but need information on his wife to really be able to get any further I believe! 

His wife was

Emily Kelk (b. 1828 Halifax, NS) daughter of Edward and Mary.
I have her listed on the 1851 Census with her parents, and then again on the 1871 Census with William and her children (William, Frederick, Emily, Mary, & Ellen). 

I'd love to find record of their marriage (to hopefully find William's parents names!) or record of her death.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where and when was William born per the census you have found?

Unfortunately I only have William on the '71 Census, and it only says abt. 1830 and Ireland...so that doesn't help much since it's such a common name..

William and Emily's first child was born in Hamilton, Ontario Canada in 1858, so I think we're looking at a marriage date between '51 and '58
