1841 and 1851 Porlock Somerset census - Moore

[Tremough]

Please would someone look up Philip (or Phillip) Moore who had a son called Thomas born 1837.  Sorry I have no further information except that Thomas father was called Philip and he may have been living in Porlock, Somerset.

Many thanks.

Very many thanks for that Geoff.  I'm just wondering how Thomas came to be a sailor - in the 1861 census he was married to a widow and living in Penryn, Cornwall and gave his occupation as a seaman. He also had a son called Thomas, my grandfather, who also went to sea.
