Edith Emma Moore, born Rackenford, March 1865, daughter of Sarah Moore
« on: Monday 13 February 17 18:22 GMT (UK) »

She is listed on the 1871 Census in the home of Elizabeth Moore a widowed farmer, living at Lane Land, Rackenford, as being her grand-daughter. Also at the farm is Elizabeth Moore’s daughter Sarah, 16 years of age and unmarried.
I am researching the above named person, who in 1881 is listed as being the niece of a James Kirk, born in Ireland, living in Boston, Lincolnshire, aged 16. This article in a local newspaper describes her marriage to a Robert HIND of Morton, Lincolnshire.
Grantham Journal - Saturday 21 March 1891
MARRIAGES:
HIND-MOORE: At the Wesleyan Centenary Chapel, Boston, on the 17th inst., (By the Rev. W. Watkinshaw), Mr. Robert HIND, of Dyke, Bourn, and Boston, to Edith Emma MOORE, adopted daughter of Mr. J. G. Kirk, Elm House, Boston.
I see from Rootschat that baptisms at Rackenford church ended in 1859, but there were other chapels there as well. Any idea how I could find her baptism?

You appear to be suggesting that Sarah was the mother of Edith Emma.  She would only have been 10yrs old when she gave birth??

Do you have a copy of the 1865 birth cert showing her mothers christian name

GRO online maiden name search suggests she was illegitimate 

EDIT - Daughter Sarah was 25 - not 16 in 1871   ::)

Dead right Carol, no of course Sarah can't be her mother. I don't have the birth certificate, so that's why  I was searching for her baptism, but just found her marriage record which says her father was John Moore, a butcher. I have found that a John Moore, was the husband of Elizabeth Moore, the 60 year old widow, at the farm in 1871, but in 1861, they have a son called John Moore, who was a cattle dealer & butcher. I have found that he was declared bankrupt in 1864. Not heard of that GRO online maiden name search before.

There was an Emma Moor, daughter of William and Charlotte baptised at Rackenford in September 1864, but I can't see any of them after that

Sorry, you can discount her - she's with her father in 1881 and a servant locally in 1891
