Hi

No connection I am afraid. I have since found out that
my Edward married Margaret Gargan.

Hi Celia

The reason that I posted this mesage on here
was in the hope that Tube Drawers may jog
someones memory. I am having real trouble
finding out anything about my Grandma
Sarah Shellard (nee Moore). All I know is
that she was born in 1888 possibly in
Birmingham. her Father was called Edward.
He was a Tube Drawer and was dead by the
time Grandma married my Grandad Frank
in Leeds 1914. Frank was also a Tube
Drawer. I know Sarah died 3 May 1946
and was buried in Hunslet Old Cemetery
7 May 1946. The only Sarah Moore that
I can find is on 1901 census in Birmingham.
She is on with her Brother William Moore and
Sister-in-law Laura. Sarah age 12 the other
2 aged 21. 1927-30 Electoral Roll in Leeds
shows a Lily Moore living with Frank and Sarah. Belmont Crescent, Stourton Leeds.
Then in 1931 a Lily Moore married a James
Smith they were both living in Belmont
Crescent. On the wedding certificate it
shows a William Henry Moore as Lily's
Father he was also a Tube Drawer. I am
wondering if this William could be Sarah's
Brother. My problem is I cannot find a
marriage for William and Laura or a birth
for William or Sarah. I am really stuck.
I know people have said that Sarah was
allegedly said to have an Irish temper.
If the family were originally from Ireland
I will be totally lost because I understand
that alot of the Irish records were destroyed.
I would be grateful for any help at all. Where
else should have I put this post. I am not
good at this sort of thing.

Thank you.

Thank you Jim.

Hi Pam

I too are trying to trace my ancestors the Moores. I am told they are of Irish origin and I think lived in Birmigham. My Grandmother was Sarah Moore born 1888 but I am not sure where. Her father was called Edward Moore I do not know when he was born or where. The only thing I do know is that Edward was a tube drawer. Sarah married my Grandad Frank Shellard in Leeds in 1914. Their youngest child was my Father Allan born 1931. Grandad Frank was from Northfield Selly Oak Birmingham. I think grandma may have been from Birmingham as well but I have no proof yet. Do you think that there may be a connection. I am hitting a brick wall at the moment.

Thank you

Julie
