Hi . I'm looking for the date of birth for a William John moon. Born in hastings. His daughter doris was born in 1910 so William John moon was born say 1880-1890 ?. When William was 6 years old his mother died after being burnt I assume  in a house fire at 67 all saints street ,hastings. I would like to find out more about the circumstances of her death. But as yet I do not know her full name. I would be very grateful for any help . Thank you .

Didn't you check freebmd for a birth for him?  There is one in Hastings in 1883

Go to https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp and use the details from the freebmd entry to get his mothers maiden name which is shown as Foord

Use freebmd to look for a Moon marriage to a Foord & you will find one in 1877 so you have his parents - Henry & Sarah

Check freebmd for a death for Sarah - look at 1889

Hastings and St Leonards Observer 02 February 1889

This has a report of "a woman called Moon, living in All-Saints Street, who was very severely burnt by the exploding of a paraffin lamp". It says she was admitted to hospital; the poor woman must have lived a while with her injuries

I found a report in the Hastings and St. Leonard’s Observer of 14 Jan 1882 for a fire at Vine’s Row, Hastings about Sarah Jane Moon testifying about the death from burns of her daughter, 15 months old, named Alice.  Sarah was the wife of H.T. Moon, a painter.  Present at the time, on Jan 1, was her three year old son.   Sarah left the room for about 5 minutes and came back to find the child’s clothes smouldering.  The child died on January 11.  Death ruled accidental.
Perhaps some connection.

A Sarah Jane Moon age 32 listed in FreeBMD, died Mar Q, 1889 Hastings. Very sad.

William John Moon was the youngest of 5:

Stephen Henry birth Sept.1877 Hastings - mmn Foord
Lewis James birth Mar.1879 - died Sept.1882
Alice Charlotte birth Dec.1880 - died Mar.1882
Horace William birth Sept.1882 - died Dec.1882
William John birth Dec.1883

Cannot see surviving brothers Stephen and William in 1891.

Their father was Henry Thomas Moon bc.1853 and he'd died before his wife Sarah Jane, in Dec.qtr.1883 Hastings.
