Good day
I am trying to track down a Alfred George Moore born around 1894. I have a marriage certificate dated 31 Oct 1928 in Durban South Africa. He was listed as age 34, divorcee, from either Hendon England, or London England (could be either based on the writing).
If anyone is able to help me track him down I would appreciate it as I have not had much success.
Thanks
Sharleen

Was his fathers name on the marriage certificate, as there are 6 by the name of Alfred George Moore born 1894.
When did he travel to South Africa?, his documents may give a relative to contact in an emergency.

Two London births 1894 have fathers Abraham William Moore and the other William Moore if that helps at all.

amondg: The parents names are not on the marriage certificate and we have no idea when they traveled to South Africa.
All I have is his marriage certificate which Rosie99 posted correctly (the first link)
The second link rosie99 posted is a good possibility. Ironically my grandfather was WL Moore. Could have been his brother. Not sure about the other initial - I will go back and look in my records.
Priscilla - thank you - I had not seen that before.
Max D - I will try and search and see what I come up with on those names. I thought that my grandmother had said the family either came from Hendon or Barnett. My cousin and I both seem to have that recollection.

Adding onto that request I have just dug around and found my grandfather's birth certificate. He is the brother of Alfred George Moore (and the marriage certificate that rosie99 posted has the same initials). My grandfathers name was Walter Lane Moore. On his birth certificate his father is listed as Alfred James Moore and perhaps he is the one from Hendon. My grandmother also referenced him as Alfred Joseph Moore. My grandfather was born in SA on July 3rd, 1898. If George was born in the UK it means that the family possibly traveled out between 1894 and 1898.
If it is at all possible would someone be willing to look for and Alfred James Moore in either Hendon or Barnett. I would appreciate that. Thanks

All things considered this looks like a possible birth for Alfred (1894):
Gro Index:
MOORE, ALFRED GEORGE mmn LANE

Is the mother's name not on your grandfather's birth cert? EDIT: Sorry-just noticed-Eliza Ann. :)

The other thing that my cousin just sent me was a marriage certificate for Alfred James Moore and Eliza Ann Lane - it has them both living in Durban, South Africa at the time of marriage but in June 1892. That would fit with the birthday for Alfred George Moore in 1894, but there does not appear to be a birth certificate for Alfred George in South Africa either or we are not finding it. My understand is that Alfred James was born in Hendon, Barnet, London area.
