FreeBMDs image is bad but if you blow it up on ancestry it's a little clearer.

It's Dec 1855 Evie  :)

Thanks to you all for replying. I've been uncertain about Moore for ages , he could be my 3 times grandfather and i am hoping this cert might throw up some answers.

Carol--thanks for the info re register office.

Hello :)  I ve had a look at the original too and after playing with the exposure using my software it certainly looks very much like 7a and 3 to me too.

I hope the certificate answers your questions.

Maybe you will tell us the outcome  :)
