Please, any help findindg:
Fenton Moore b. ~1833 Queens County, Ireland, married Joannah (sp?) Power in 1860 Salford.
They are listed in the 1861 census in Salford, but appear to have vanished after that.
Fenton's parents John and Catherine Moore
Joannah's parents John and Catherine Power
in addition, his sister Ann "Oney" Moore Burke, married John Burke in Salford in 1858. But they seemed to have vanished after 1881.
They are all together in the 1861 census in Salford with mother Catherine Moore.
Any ideas what became of them?

I considered that Kay99, but I found mother Catherine in Salford living with her daughter Ann Burke and her husband in 1871. No Fenton to be found. :(

That’s the Leeds one though, isn’t it, not the Salford/Manchester one. :-\
Are you thinking they could be the same person?

There's a surprising number of Fenton / Finton Moores about
One in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1851
Denis Moore Head 36 b abt 1815 b Ireland
Ridget (sic) Wife 33 1818 b Ireland (probably meant to be Bridget)
Mary Ann Moore Daughter 11 1840 b Ireland
Rose Moore Daughter 5 1846 b Kirkcudbright, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland
Catharine Moore Daughter 3 b abt1848 b Scotland
Anthony Moore Brother Married 20 1831 b Ireland
Fenton Moore Nephew Unmarried 20 1831 b Ireland
From ages this Fenton would be son of Denis and Anthony's older brother.
The Leeds Fenton has a mother born in Air (sic) Scotland. Maybe this is the same one.

I realize it is a stretch, but when looking at the 1861 census for the family I see Fenton and Johanna are the same age. They are listed as Catherine's son and daughter and both married. My suspicion is they were married to each other and the census taker neglected to put "inlaw" by Johanna.
I also wondered if the person recording the wedding of "Franciscum Moore" and "Joannam Power" put Franciscum as a given name if it was the closest alternative to a Latin version of his name. If so, and that could be Fenton, Joanne BURKE of Salford was a witness at Fenton's marriage. Fenton's sister Oney/Ann Burke married John BURKE.
The Lan-OPC shows:
Marriage: 30 Sep 1860 Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist, Salford, Lancashire, England
Franciscum Moore - Salford
Joannam Power - Salford
Groom's Parents: Joannis Moore & Catharinae Moore
Bride's Parents: Joannis Power & Catharinae Power

This could be. The Denis Moore is my 3x GGrandfather and the family I'm trying to tie the Salford group to. I don't know Denis' older brother's name. It appears Fenton in Salford's father was John.

Still don't know where Fenton ended up even if it wasn't Joanna Power he married though. Maybe the US or back to Ireland.
You would think Fenton would be unique, but the more you look, the more of them you find! :(

There is a marriage in 1863, St Wilfred’s, Hulme, Manchester
James Moore and Mary A Doran.
https://mlfhs.uk/databases/catholic-records is just an index but it shows James’ father as Fenton.
This would not be your Fenton but just another example.
