Thanks for the welcome,  It was thanks to the BBC's tracing your roots programme that I was able to discover your site. With regards to the Moore family I thought I'd just post a request for any information, ie photographs even Nineteenth Century possibly showing a Staymaker business in Wallingford. Thanks

Hi again

Have you tried contacting the admin of this site?

http://www.wallingfordmuseum.org.uk/index.html

There is also information on www.historicaldirectories.org that will help to narrow down the years that your family were in business in Wallingford.

By a process of accumulating certificates you will also get a clearer picture of their occupations at any one time.

I take it you have census returns for them?

kind regards, Arranroots 

p.s. Tracing your Roots is certainly topic of the moment here!

My thanks for that and yes I do have a number of Census Returns for the family. Cheers
