Moses Turley born 1850 Sedgley

[momo22]

Hi

I'm trying to find out where Moses Turley (born C1850, Sedgley) is in the 1861 and 1871 censuses.

In 1851 Moses is living with parents Richard and Sarah (nee Light) in Sedgley. His mother is dead by 1852 when Richard remarries Mary Webb.

In 1861 Richard and Mary are living with their children but Moses is not there. Richard and Mary have a son called Richard in 1856.

No sign of Moses in 1871

In Feb 1880 Moses marries Elizabeth Mitton at St Peters Walsall-he is now calling himself Moses Richard Turley
In the 1881 census Moses calls himself Richard Moses Turley
In subsequent census returns he drops Moses completely.
I believe he dies in 1922 and is registered as Richard Turley.

Any help to find Moses/Richard Turley in 1861 and 1871 greatly appreciated.

Could this be him in 1871

Good spot Pheno

That certainly is a strong possibility

Thanks

In 1861 could he have been living or visiting with a grandparent or other relative of either mother?  Mother's side because we can't find him under Turley.  Might be worth checking out those surnames.

Yes, wondered the same thing. Certainly not lurking under the 'Light' surname. Am looking to see if Moses is with a married sister of his mother Sarah. His father Richard had no sisters.

He's down as Richard Zuby on the 1861 census
