Kent / Beer Family, Canterbury
« on: Sunday 19 January 14 13:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have information/pictures regarding the following:

William Beer (1786-1869) Owner of Beer & Co Brewery, Canterbury - would like to know if he was married more than once?  Married to Sarah Fish (17/08/1830), states he is a widower, but can't find any record of previous marriage.  Also know he was made bankrupt in May 1844 before going into partnership with his sons.

George Beer (1817-1890) Owner of George Beer & Co (Star Brewery), Canterbury

Alfred James Beer (1825-1892) Owner of Beer Original Brewery, Canterbury - also think he may have been a local councillor in Canterbury and Sheriff in 1869?

Osmond Augustine Beer (1831-1876) Possible Owner of Osmond Beer, Canterbury

Herbert Beer (1834-1887) May have owned a brewery in Canterbury, but not sure.  Married Julie Ann Howard in 1858 Canterbury

Would be grateful for any information about any of these relatives.

Kent / William Collins
« on: Sunday 29 April 12 13:01 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information on William Collins b. 1826 or 1827 Ruckinge

I have found him (I think) on 1841 Census with his Mother Jane Collins b. 1806

I find him again in 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 which was easy because I know he married Amelia Moon.  I can't seem to find him on any Census records for 1851 or 1861.  I believe he died in 1902.

His year of birth for some of the census records does change slightly, but this appears to be quite a common thing. 

However, I have searched everywhere I can think of including http://www.hastingleigh.com/OPR/Ruckinge-Baptisms.html to try and find a record of his or his mothers baptism, but no luck.

I have nothing else to go on.  Is it possible that they were not baptised and if so how do I go about tracing their births?

Can anybody help?  This would be much appreciated.

Kent / Henry Moon

Does anyone have any information on Henry Moon b. 1836 Brookland, New Romney
He was baptised on: 02.10.1836 Brookland, his mothers name is Sarah Moon and it states he was illegitimate.

I know he married Amelia Ann Smith on 29.04.1861 in New Romney and they had three children: Lenora Jane Moon b.1866, William Collins Moon b. 1868 and Benjamin Thomas Collins Moon b. 1869.

Amelia then married a William Collins in 1870 and they had four children.  I did doubt the parentage of William Collins Moon and Benjamin Collins Moon as it seems strange that they would be named Collins (Moon) and then Amelia marries a William Collins!!

William Collins Moon is my great grandfather and I have a copy of his birth certificate which states Henry Moon as his father!

However, I can not find any records anywhere of Henry Moon, he does not seem to appear on any census records and I can't find a record of his death. 

I am finding information on his mothers family and believe her parents were George Moon and Elizabeth Shrewsbury both from the Romney Marsh area.

I would be grateful if anyone has any information at all on Henry Moon.

Thanks.
