Moorby of Lambeth?
« on: Sunday 09 January 22 05:12 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find the birth of William MOORBY about 1773 and for Richard MOORBY 1748
It is possible these were related but we would like to verify this.
Both were tiplate workers both had sons named Richard
Richard left a will when he died mentioning a nephew William but annoyingly there are blank spaces where William's addressand the name of his wife were meant to be.
Some trees on An..ry say William was born in Lambeth but give no baptism date or parents
Can anyone see a record in Lambeth to bear this outplease?

I note the tree you mention on ancestry, which also notes that the father of William is Richard.

Parish records are on Ancestry but no William in Surrey. I have checked family search & freereg Williams elsewhere in England but none with father Richard.

Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.

Many thanks Colin there are a few variations of the surname and We have found possibilities in the Banbury region of Oxfordshire but no definite connections.
i wonder if we can assume William and Richard relate...same work ,same area both have sons Richard baptised in the same church ,.. but is this enough to say yes they relate? We have found in Banbury a William (with a brother Richard) who has a reasonably matched son William...but  we clutching at straws
The lack of a London birth may simply be the family did not have their children baptised

I think that tree has miss read the will and overlooked the reference to Nephew others with the Lambeth birth don't give a father
