Hi Sue
All we have with ref to William Henry Moore is Census returns, many which were found on this site,wonderful place this i , so far we have no birth certifcate or Marriage  certifcate to Sarah Anne Wiseman (norwich) so working out his birth date is guess work from the Census.

Hi Gordon,

If he was married in this country, you should be able to find the record to be able to order the marriage cert. It would have his fathers name on it, even if he was deceased at the time of sons marriage.....

Good luck, let me know how you get on....

Regards, Sue  ...lol....love all the Christmas smilies...lol

Hi again Gordon,

I just looked on 1881 census... are you sure he married Sarah Anne Wiseman?

She is listed as housekeeper and unmarried.
William Henry Moore is listed as married and has a son William G Moore of 7 years old. But no sign of a wife....

Hi SueF,

I am also following this thread - but it seems that Gordon has 2 going - look under Norfolk requests - 'any info wits end' - maybe we can join them and just research from one.


Regards   Rosemary       and Happy New Year !

On william george s birth cert. mothers name  states Sarah Ann Moore formally Wiseman but we are unable to find any Marriage cert, william george was born 19th Dec 1873.but on the 1881 Census RG11/1947 folio 112 page7  Haymarket, George and Dragon she is 'Wiseman' and a house keeper,
getting past these 2 has taken 20 yrs so far but in the last 2 or 3 days i have found out lots more on all my searchs thanks to this site and helpful people like you.
         Many Thanks again to all of you

Hi Gordon,

I am really interested in how William was born in Kings Island and who his parents were- You decide which site you will work on. Maybe we can all crack this one !!Did you ask on the Emigrants site?

Regards  Rosemary

We to would like to know its been a puzzler for 20 yrs odd, i sent sent emails to Tasmania got very little help there, one thing i have found out over the last couple of days was another family    of Moores in Norwich where the daughters were all in Van Demains land, I posted a request  and got a transcription very quickly,now as i see it his date of birth fits in right between the girls, but this as we know have to be correct i will cut and paste it so you can see it below ...hopefully, i will put a post on that Emigrants site, is there a special section or do i go in like this site, i am very sorry that i seem to be posting quite a lot but as i said earlier what took 20yrs to do and finding all this info is quite exciting, i will post on that site and watch, i will also lay off the requests for a few days but will answer any queries what need answering, hopfully togather we can crack this one.
                              regards Gordon

Thanks to Alllegs for thr following..

Hi Gordon,

Here are your family in 1861, I've looked on the 1851 but can't find them, I think they may have been in Australia...

RG9/1215 folio 13 pg 23

Norwich St Julien
West Side Ring
St Baxters Gardens

William M Moore, head, 52, Chelsea Pensioner and staff sergent with Militia, born Norwich
Elizabeth Moore, wife, 35, born Horstead
Elizabeth Moore, daughter, 19, dress maker, born Port Arthur, Australia
Sophia I Moore, daughter, 13, born Hobart Town, Australia
James Clarke, son in law, 10, born Norwich
Harriet Clarke, daughter in law, 8, born Norwich

I'm not sure how James and Harried can be son and daughter in law at their ages, I'm guessing they must be cousins or neice/nephew...?

Hi Gordon,

Been looking at the census for 1861 and a couple of interesting facts came to me....but you have probably noticed these ?...

Anyway, just in case you haven't....

1) Wife Elizabeth was 17 years younger than her husband William.

2) Wife Elizabeth was only 16 when she had daughter Elizabeth in Australia...which means she was in Australia around 1842.

3) Husband William is shown as a Chelsea Pensioner and (can't quite make this out) Staff something Militia? This might be why he was in Australia?....Navy?...Army?

Just off to check out the " in-laws" as James was 10 years old... he might be on the 1851 census...
