Am seeking information on sons of James Bennett MOORE and Sarah GARDINER. Most of family Christened in St Thomas Church Portsmouth.



Have Australian Family Trees for my GGGrandfather James Alexander MOORE born abt 1820 , his brother James Bennett b August 1819, and sister Sarah who married Thomas Smith LYNE.



Seeking information on William George MOORE b21 Sept 1823

John MOORE b 8 August 1827

Samuel Webber MOORE b 1830



Family story as one or two brothers also coming to Australia, but until now I have not been able to find out who, when and where.



Would also dearly like to find more information on the family in England. It is believed that they had a ships chandlery shop in Portsmouth.



Would be pleased to share Australian family information with other family members.

Hi Alan and Bev,



Could this be Samuel in1851?

Civil Parish: Kensington Ecclesiastical parish: Brompton Holy Trinity Town: Brompton County/Island: Middlesex Country: EnglandElizabeth Moore 24 Samuel Moore 24/Cabinetmaker



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



And in 1841?



Name: Samuel Moore Age: 11 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1830 Gender: Male Where born: Hampshire, England



Civil Parish: Portsmouth Town Hundred: Portsmouth Borough County/Island: Hampshire Country: EnglandSamuel Moore 11 Matilda Reed 20 Isabella Young 25

Thank you Slizzy,



The age of Samuel in the 1851 Cencus does not fit, but there may be family connection somewhere.



The 1841 reference is amazing in that the age of the Samuel is about right as I have confirmed his Christening in St Thomas Portsmouth on the 29th of September. But the clincher is Matilda Reed. She is the daughter of James Reed and she married James Bennett Moore, Samuels brother in St Marys Portsea on 30th Oct 1841. They then came to South Australia, arriving on Dec 23rd 1849 on the Constant.



The 1841 reference, does it have a head of house or other family members as well?



We seemed to have identified him, now we need to find out what he got up to



Thanks for your help

Hi Alan,



Sorry, the English 1841 census doesn't name the head's of household.



There were no other people listed in that house on the census.
