London and Middlesex / Re: Thomas E. Moore 1840

Well, this is exciting! (Gee, I love genealogy.   8))

Yes, I'm related. Annie, Caroline's sister, was my great grandmother. She died in Brooklyn sometime between 1890 and 1900. We haven't been able to pin that down yet. We've been unable to find a death cert or anything and she's not buried where most of the others at that time are (with her husband's family, I mean).
My grandfather was William Erwin Jackson, b 1889. Annie also had a daughter named Caroline, who died at 8 months old.

I can't believe you have those keepsakes, that's fabulous!

Yes, the Rev. Moore was quite a fellow, he apparently was quite an entrepreneur who made a bit of a fortune in the US and Canada but then gave it up when he joined the SA.
I recently discovered another child of theirs, born in Canada named Geraldine, but I think she may have died young, as I can't find her anywhere else. Do you know anything of her?

By the way, that birthplace listed for Nelly in the 1881 census that no one can read is Scranton, Pennsylvania.  :D
Well, I will PM you so that we can communicate further. So so happy to "meet" yo!

And for anyone else still reading this, very glad I found this site again. I have more questions, heheheh...

(Hmm, I replied to this earlier but it doesn't seem to have taken...I'll try to remember what I said  ;D)
I'm so glad to get this post! Shortly after I posted my original query my computer had a nervous breakdown and I lost bookmarks, links etc. And I couldn't remember where I'd posted this.  :-[
I wanted to say thanks to all who answered, thank you much for the help!

mrtbksla--I would very much like to correspond with you--I had just about given up on finding any Moore relatives. I have a lot of info on the family. Alas, still no birth for Thomas though.  :(
His grave is on Findagrave though. He is buried in Harper, Kansas.

Hope to hear from you!

London and Middlesex / Thomas E. Moore 1840

Hello,
My first post here!
I've been banging my head against this brick wall for awhile, and I'm hoping someone has some ideas. I'm searching for the birth of Thomas Edwin Moore in or around London. He emigrated to the US in 1881 to take command of the Salvation Army here.
According to his MI (he died in Harper, Kansas) he was born 16 Apr 1840. He married Ellen Maria Hogg in 1859. I have their marriage registration-they married in Greenwich where she lived-which states his father's name was also Thomas Moore.
The problem is I can't find his birth, nor his mother's name.
There is a different Thomas Edwin Moore, born 1840 in Stepney with father Thomas and mother Rhoda. This is not my Thomas, however, as I have found this family in various censuses and they did not leave London.
Where might I look for this information? Is there any document that would have his mother's name or his place of birth?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Beth
