"What Would You Do?" Brickwall advice request

Yes, definitely Queens County but it gives them all borth there; including Bridget. Who knows how accurate but helps to ensure I have the right lot.

Thanks All,
In the 1851 Census in Edinburgh, the family was living with Denis' brother Anthony 20 y and nephew Fenton 20 y.

Ancestry transcribes that Fenton's birthplace as "Lucens County, Ireland". I don't have access to the image of the 1851 census in Scotland.

Yes, that would be the child of my GG Grandfather Fenton Moore, the one born to Denis and Bridget in Edinburgh.

extra points if you find a Fenton Moore who was a surveyor.

How many points 

West Somerset Free Press, 6 Dec.1884: November 2_th, at Bastover, Bridgwater, William Richard, son of Mr. Fenton Moore, ordnance surveyor, aged _ years.

And Denis', Bridget's, and daughter Mary Ann's birthplace is "Queensbannly, Ireland" according to the 1851 Census in Scotland
For brother Anthony: "Shire Iucensborenty, Ireland"

The shire is actually from the daughter's birthplace listed above:

"West Somerset Free Press, 6 Dec.1884: November 2_th, at Bastover, Bridgwater, William Richard, son of Mr. Fenton Moore, ordnance surveyor, aged _ years."

xpress4 if you are following this find up, it might help to know that 'Bastover' should almost certainly read 'Eastover' ! Never heard of Bastover in Bridgwater, my grandparent's home town, visited often.

Not sure if just a co incidence on names/locations...

Could this Fenton be connected? https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C8761036

I did see an entry for a Denis:

Denis Moore
Age: 21
Birth Date: abt 1817
Birth Place: Clonend, Queens
Military Date: 1 Jan 1838
Unit: 57th Foot Soldiers, 1st Battalion

Couldn't make out his birth place from original image:

What I would do also is to got to the 1901/11 census and track back the Law families that are there at that stage in Kilkenny, Queens and Kings Counties.   

There are Laws who are Presbyterian and even an elderly Law (Margaret) who is a Scottish Presbyterian residing in Kings County.

I would definitely try to to find out more about the Law showing up in Griffiths.

No worries Monica!
I think he must be related...maybe brother to my Denis?
