Trying to track down the correct 1841 census for George Moore, or his parents.
In 1857 he marries Elizabeth Gee. All the censuses from 1861 - 1911 list his birth as Fosdyke 1833-34.
There is a baptism record for George Moor in Fosdyke on 20 Jan 1833, listing parents William and Ann. I think Ann's surname may be Blancher/Blanchard.
FHL Film Number: 989788
It looks like George was a servant (aged 17) in 1851, so the 1841 will be the only one to list his parents.
Thanks in advance.

Have you got the marriage certificate for George?
If so what occupation does it have for his father and who were the witnesses?
-
Am not familiar with Fosdyke - where is it near do you know?
There is a William and Ann Moore in 1841 both age 30 living parish of Tumby? but no George :-\

South of Boston, towards Spalding.

William and Ann had 6 children baptised at Fosdyke:
Hannah 11/4/1824
Sarah 1/1/1826 (bur.25/1/1830)
William 24/8/1828
Elijah 12/9/1830
George 20/1/1833
Mary 25/9/1836
I haven't been able to trace the family on the 1841 census.

This Elijah
Elijah 12/9/1830
appears very obviously in all censuses up to 1891 other than 1841.
There is an Elijah Moore in 1841 in Fosdyke, but born 1840, and wrong family. Census image is very faint. There are 9 pages in that area of Fosdyke, but could not see another Moore family there.
Wonder if Ann remarried, and hiding under wrong surname, or in workhouse under initials?
Added:
Similarly with George
George 20/1/1833
He is showing in censuses except 1841.
Both Elijah and George are servants in 1851, in Whaplode(Elijah) and Donington(George).
-
Perhaps we could find a possible remarriage for Ann and look for her as the others are proving very elusive 1841 :-\
There is one in Grantham district Dec 1837
Lucy Baxter
Thaomas Beet
Elizabeth Exton
Anne Moore
John Row
One missing groom there naturally to make it more difficult but John Row/Lucy Baxter could pair up.
-
Think we can discount Anne Moore from 1837 marriage.
She seems to be Ann Charles married 1826 to Henry Moore
Son William baptised 1826 Welby
Henry died 1828
Married Thomas Beet in 1837 and on census records in Welby with son William and a daughter Jane Beet 1841 mmn Charles
