1871 Census Lookup - MOORE

[waiteohman]

Hello

Could someone please lookup this family on the 1871 England census.

Source 1881 Canada Census
Thos. (Thomas)Moore married age 41 born England carpenter baptist
Ellen A. Moore married age 38 b. England baptist
Ellen Moore dau age 16 b, England
Thos. (Thomas) Moore son age 14 b. England

1871 census would also include:
Catherine (Thomasina) Moore dau age 13 b. England (born 1858)

May be others I have no knowledge of. I believe Catherine was born in Windsor, Berkshire.

Cheers and thank you,
Linda

1871 census 16 Catherine Moores born within a year of circa 1858 none in Windsor or even Berkshire - nothing close. I haven't checked for spelling variations (Katherine/Moor). 1861 census 22 Catherine Moores, again none born in Windsor or Berkshire.
Nothing on FreeBMD (an incomplete transcription of the civil registration index) for a birth of a Catherine Thomasina Moore or any Moore with Thomasina as a middle name but FreeBMD has relatively poor coverage for the period of births you are interested in.
I suggest you checked on Ancestry (for free) through the birth registrations for a Catherine Thomasina Moore cira 1857-1859 to find where her birth was registered and once you have found her and therefore narrowed the region of search down for a census lookup, post the information.

Thank you Valda.

I will try your suggestion and see what I can dig up. I know my other ggrandfather was not on the BMD circa same time period from Yorkshire; however, I did find him on the Yorkshire BMD. I wonder if there is a listing of the shires that have their own BMD searchable sites. That would sure be helpful.

Thank you once again.

Cheer,
Linda

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/

has sites where some local registration districts BMDS are being indexed. Bear in mind however just how many different registration districts there were at any one time, and how many there would be within any one county (shire)

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/county-map.html

the population circa 1870 would be about 26 million so many different registration districts were needed. By 1850 half the population of the country lived in towns and cities.

Are you sure your ages and dates are correct?

If Ellen A. Moore was 38 on the 1881 census then her year of birth would be approximately 1843. If she was Catherine's mother then she would have been only 15 at the time of Catherine's birth (circa 1858) with Thomas being not much older at 18.
There is a gap in ages between Catherine's birth circa 1858 and the next child Ellen with a birth year of circa 1865.

As the youngest child on the 1881 census, Thomas was born circa 1867 why do you think the family was still in England for the 1871 census and not by then in Canada? Have you checked the 1871 Canadian census for the family?

Hello Valda

I have source records for Ontario, so I was pretty sure; however, women have been know to lie about their age, lol, and there are conflicts with census and death cert. I think the death cert is more likely to have the correct year.

On the census she is Catherine and looking back at the records,  her death certificate lists her as Katherine. On the death cert no mother is listed, her father Thomas is, her birth is listed Dec 21, 1858 England, and Dec 21, 1856 on the Cdn census.

Ellen would be her stepmother from what I see and on the census Ellen is b. Mar 11, 1843 England.  Thomas is b. Dec 16, 1839 England. The family immigrated via the U.S. to Canada in 1872 and Thomas would be with Ellen on the 1871 census, as I would expect the dau Ellen to be Ellen & Thomas' child.

The common names sure make this difficult, and I need to work the birth angle or maybe the Ellen and Thomas' marriage to hone in on the father.

Thanks for your links. I will take a look at them.

Cheers,
Linda

Hi Linda

I am also looking for information on Catherine Thomasena Moore the wife of Rev. George Virgin.

Catherine and George were my great great grandparents through my mother.

Let me know if you trip across her parent's information.
