Marriage between Abraham Moon and Grace

[Ibbo2000]

Hi again,

It's the British libary website - 19th Century Library Newspapers. (free access from home if your a member of a library that is 'signed' up to it).

The year was a little later then I remembered, partnership between Abraham & William Moon of Guiseley, Yorkshire, cloth makers, dissolved in 1838.

The year before at the court of insolvent debtors it looks like they were being sued, if I've read it right.

Looks to have done OK in later life as there are more articles were he is mentioned as a trustee.
Also an entertaining account of a trial regarding theft of some cloth the property of Abraham Moon.

Hi Kev
Just found a Grace Clapham in 1841 with John and Betty, she's aged 12 at Clayton Heights so that may throw a spanner in the works!!
Thanks for the info on Abraham

Could the Grace Clapham with Abraham in 1841 be a cousin or some other relative? familysearch have two baptisms in Guiseley for Grace Clapham:

27/9/1829 daughter of John & Betty
29/6/1828 daughter of Samuel & Ann

On the 1841 census you have for Abraham, on the next page is a Samuel Clapham with Ann & children, but no Grace under the entry for Samuel. By 1851 she looks to be back with parents.

Would be interesting to see if John & Samuel are related?

If I have copied correctly, the above url should take you to the Guiseley bmd records.
Have a look down at the bottom of the page.

Hi Brian
Thank you for the link but I'm afraid I don't know what I should be looking at (probably another blond moment).  Could you possible give me another clue, thank you.

Many thanks

The link is for the Guiseley page on Genuki.
At the bottom of the page is the transcribed bmd records for Guiseley, Horsforth and Rawdon.

Hi Suziq

Just noticed your posting.

Think I had some MI information for this family.

Will dig it out if you are still interested.
