Edward Quilliam Moore circa 1841 Liverpool

[RodEast]

Can anyone help to untangle the records of Edward Quilliam Moore.
I have a marriage with Alice Heaton in 1st qtr 1864 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England ref 8b 239 and the census for 1881 which places the family in Kirkdale, West Derby, Lancashire.  The listed children all check out with the mother's maiden name as Heaton.  Alice's. birth is given as circa 1844 in Liverpool.
The census includes Edward's mother in law as Margaret Brian  born circa 1809 in the Isle of Mann.   I have a marriage between William Brian and Margaret Quillain  in the 4th qtr 1843 in West Derby ref 8b 718.  This is where I am stuck.
I can't find a link between Alice Heaton and Margaret Quillain nor can I find a link between Edward Quillian Moore and the Quillian middle name.
Any help to untangle tis will be greatly appreciated.

Alice Heatons marriage names her father as Robert Heaton, occ Whitesmith.  One of the witnesses was a Henry Heaton

The census includes Edward's mother in law as Margaret Brian  born circa 1809 in the Isle of Mann.   I have a marriage between William Brian and Margaret Quillain  in the 4th qtr 1843 in West Derby ref 8b 718.  This is where I am stuck.

I think you mean 1853.

The Margaret Quilliam that married William Brian was a spinster age 47. Her father William Quilliam occ Weaver.

It looks from that census that the 1881 should possibly have read Mother and not Mother in Law to Edward.

That is very possible Rosie, bowing out for tonight as my bedtime

Thanks for all that.  Assuming that Margaret Brain is his mother as suggested how do we get to the surname Moore?

[rosie99]

Presumably an illegitimate birth for Edward - fathers surname Moore.  Have you looked for them in 1851
