Marriage between Abraham Moon and Grace

[suziq]

Hi
Not sure if I am having a blond moment or a senior moment or a bit of both!!!!!
1851 shows Abraham Moon with Elizabeth who he married in 1835.  It looks like she died in 1855.  In 1861 Abraham is with Grace but I can't find a marriage......can anyone help please?

Possible to Grace Speight in 1860 but need to check

Ignore - wrong marriage

1871 Abraham is shown as a widower

Deaths March qtr 1867 
Grace Moon aged 38  Wharfedale  9a 112

If Elizabeth died 1855 - then Arthur Moon 4 and Ann Moon 1 Month in 1861 must be Grace's children but there are no births in the Wharfedale registration district

Ann died in 1864

[down-under]

There is a Grace Moon born 1829 and died 1867 Wharfedale she was age 32 1861 census he is a widower 1871


Did he marry  a Susannah  Waite 2nd of september 1832 Guiseley St Oswald  also??
There is a Hannah age 8 1841 census

1835 Guiseley St Oswald Elizabeth Clapham

Hi,

Was just about to ask the same question, also noticed the marriage to Susannah Waite before the Elizabeth Clapham marriage.

Married Susannah 2/9/1832 Guiseley St Oswald.
There's a burial for Susannah at St Oswald on 29/5/1834.

Haven't found a marriage to Grace as yet.

Modified to add still cannot locate a marriage to Grace, have taken a look at the British Library newspaper site to see if there was any announcements listed - none that I can find. However there are a few references to Abraham Moon, cloth manufacturer, particularly his accidental death in 1877 - result of a horse & carriage crash in Yeadon.

There is a marriage between a William Moon and  Hannah Clapham at St Oswald's 15th May 1836.
(Brother of Abraham marrying the sister of Elizabeth)?

Interesting regarding William, if I remember correctly (without logging back on to the site), whilst browsing the newspaper site, in the early 1830's Abraham Moon & I think it was a William Moon were in court having a partnership dissolved, probably the wrong word & names, but when I saw it I did wonder what the relationship was.

Hi all
Thank you sooooo much for all the new info!

I have just looked back at my notes and notice that in 1841 Grace Clapham is living with Abraham and Elizabeth Moon (Elizabeth's sister?)  (Abraham's future wife???)

Can a man marry his dead wife's sister?

Thank you for all your help, as always it's VERY much appreciated

Hi,

I think you may be correct, but still can't locate a marriage, Grace Clapham does look to be Elizabeth's sister, baptism's for both at St Oswalds.

Grace on 27/9/1829 daughter of John & Betty - would be about the right age for the later census.
Elizabeth on 16/7/1821, daughter of John & Elizabeth.

Hi
Thank you for that Kev, seems really strange that the marriage isn't showing up!!!
I would be very interested in the newspaper report about the partnership being dissolved, could you let me know what website it was on please.

Many thanks
