Looks like George Moore doesnt it. In the 1881 Census I think it gives head as being Thomas Moore. That is why I was confused as to George/Thomas Moore's name. It also looks like she had two children called William Moore one born then died and the next one named again William, those two births were in Westbury. I know it happened quite regularly there but it still is a bit disconcerting when you come across it.

Now I just need to trace Edwin's christening ... anyone any ideas. I suppose I should attach both Edwin and William's details to the emigrated page. Edwin went to Russell, Manitoba and William went firstly to New York with his wife and then divorced and he went on to Aukland New Zealand. In the 1881 Edwin says he was born at Ley Low at this point he is living with his wife in Attercliffe near Sheffield and he was a Confectioner / Baker.

I am in touch with both William and Edwin's descendents, they will be thrilled.

Soon as I get chance I'll take a trip over to Westbury on Severn Church and look up the graves of Ann and George.

thanks to your speedy replies ... Linda

She couldn't have had a child at 10 years surely? So perhaps a stepson.
I wonder if the lodger George MORSE could be George MOORE?

EDIT
Looks like Thomas Landon is her brother. The question is - was Albert the son of George anyway? 1851 states Ann is Married (or pretending to be!)
