Dorset / Richard Moore - Portland quarry man missing after 1861
« on: Friday 27 December 19 12:12 GMT (UK) »
I am researching Richard Moore a Portland quarry man from a long Portland hertiage.
Born 1812 and marries Ann Stone in Oct 1831. He is on the next 3 censuses but then disappears after 1861. He has 16 children!
I can not find a death record at all. His wife becomes shop keeper but does not list herself as widow untill 1881.
Could be have abandoned her and moved off Portland? I am completely stuck.
