What were the names of the witnesses at Tom and Lily's wedding? Any Moores there?

which could mean that Jane Ellerby was the likely candidate.

Especially as Arthur is Arthur Ellerby Tutin

i thought that last night but for some reason was unable to post 

will look in the directories for 1881 and census for Henry Cooper Moore house painter around Dewsbury

[ShaunJ]

There are various entries in Belfast Directories for Henry Moore, painter.
(Lily did say on the 1911 census that she was born in Belfast, albeit that she put that for Tom too)

For instance

1863-1865 Moore Henry, painter and glazier, William street
1877 Moore Henry, painter, 64 Hartley Street

ShaunJ, that's amazing that you found them all under an alternative of 'Latin'. There is no way I'd have considered that.

All I did was to find their address circa 1911 from the directories on Lennon-Wylie (Ravenhill Road), then I searched the census for ladies named Lily in Ravenhill Road.

Have you tried the local studies unit at Belfast library? They may have an obit reference in their indexes

The witnesses were John and Bessie Dolan. I seem to remember finding some Dolans in the Leeds area on censuses who were from Ireland...Possibility of Lily being born in Ireland is looking quite possible isn't it? Maybe she was staying with friends/relatives.

Thank you. Would I have to attend the library in person, or is there any way to do this from a distance?
