Completed Census Requests / Re: Elias GEORGE: is it an 1881 double entry?
« on: Monday 14 November 16 13:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

My name is Ellen and have just come across your query re Elias George.  Elias's daughter Margaret Hannah was my grandmother, though I never knew her.  I assume the family lived only for a short time in Derby as they were back in Chesterfield for the 1891 census.  As you say, he was listed with his father, Charles, in 1881 so maybe Charles added him as his son though he wasn't physically there.  Are you any relation to Elias?

Regards

There seem to have been many Moores and Foljambes in the Derbyshire area so guess we are all related somewhere along the line!!

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the info on Samuel GEORGE.  Did you not find anything on Corporal John SHAW?  I'm afraid I have no other information on him except what I gave you.

Hi Martin,
Just came across your kind offer to look for men who served at Waterloo.  Would you be kind enough to see if you have the following -
Corporal John SHAW was a Life Guardsman of Cossall.  He was a famous bare knuckle fighter and fell at Waterloo.  I think he was born 1790ish in Nottinghamshire.
I also have a Samuel GEORGE who enlisted in the 2nd Foot (Coldstream) Regiment of Foot Guards
in 1813 at the age of 18.  The Regiment in London have no trace of him but I discovered him listed in the Accounts as being at Waterloo in 1817/1818 and a W next to his name on the Muster Lists.
Were the Coldstream Guards there after the battle? I would be pleased to know if you have any information about him.
Many thanks.
Ellen

Hi,

No, my MOOREs were mostly Joiners and came from Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Hi,

I too am a MOORE and was intrigued about this family as one of my MOOREs married an Elizabeth FERRAND and Francis Ferrand MOORE changed his surname to FOLJAMBE to inherit the title from his grandfather and uncle.  After a lot of research, I discovered that they are actually PERCYs as when Thomas PERCY was involved in the Gunpowder Plot, his brother, William and William's son Edward, changed their surname from PERCY to MOORE - William's wife's maiden name.  Thus MOORE came down the families until Francis Ferrand Moore changed his name to Foljambe.  All very wealthy and influential!

I too can't make the connection between this family and mine alas, but feel in my bones, it is there somewhere!

Regards, Ellen

Thanks for response.  I would love to visit but as I am in England, don't think I will ever be able to!

Canada Lookup Request / MOORE Family
« on: Saturday 05 February 11 14:14 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor, William MOORE, who emigrated to Halifax some time before 1864 when he married Julie Ann KEATING.  I have found him in various Directories as being a Liquor Dealer living at 104,124,116, 118 Albermarle, Halifax.  Does anyone have any knowledge of this district?
