Title: MOORE FAMILY, Horsefair 1841
Post by: Caomhanach on Tuesday 26 September 06 13:21 BST (UK)

Hello,

I have just made a breakthrough in my research from the 1841 census.

I had been searching for a Joseph Moore born in Hanbury (given on a later census) but there was no such birth in the BMD. I was advised to try Droitwich but still could not find him.

Anyway, it would appear that his birthplace is given as Kidderminster (found on FREEBMD as an 1837 birth). Do people living in the area think this fits? ie/ Hanbury = Kidderminster.

In the census, I have:

Joseph Moore (parents) my GGG GP
Martha Moore

William Moore (children)
Martha Moore
Joseph Moore 1837 my GG GF
John Moore

They are listed as living in Horsefair, Kidderminster. Can anybody tell me anything further about this?

Many thanks, Mark.  :)

Horsefair is an area of Kidderminster - try putting it into Google.

I was really asking about the Hanbury / Kidderminster conection in terms of registrations and jus generally asking for more info. on Horsefair.

I already had Googled but didn't get much from that.
