Hi,
Welcome to RootsChat :)
Do you have anymore information about him?
He seems hard to find but there are a lot of people here who will try and help search for him.
Regards,

Apologies for not giving more detail. Information given to me, apparently sourced from FAMILYSEARCH, is that Charles was born in 1761, (maybe in Norfolk, England). His daughter Mary MOORE (b. Laws) was born on 7 Nov 1793 in East Winch, Norfolk, England. Charles died in 1841 (probably in Norwich, Norfolk, England).
Just to clarify, it’s Charles I meant, not Christopher.

You have his death, where was it recorded?

Paper trail genealogy is not my strength so I am using information handed on by other people. Charles Laws wife would be my direct maternal ancestor, 6 generations, thus my mtDNA ancestor. The people you mention are much later than those I am looking for, but their location means they are likely to be related.
By 1866 my branch of the Moore family had moved to Australia.

Who was the wife of Christopher Laws, England, 1761-1841.
Please correct to CHARLES, not Christopher

If Mary Laws was born 7 November 1793 she would have been 28-29 years old when she married.
William More/Moore. 16 July 1822.
