This is the thread from yesterday.

Rachel - You should delete your new thread and continue on here.

Nicki

Just looking back through the information - there is no mention of James on any census or when he was born, married or died - can anyone help please?

I was in the process of posting to your other thread...........and it disappeared!
I'll try again.............

There is a 10-year gap between George and Florence which suggests that either Emma is a second wife..........or she had George before she married Mr Moody...........

Reg

I hadn't noticed the gap as being so large. I hadn't thought of the fact that Emma could be a second wife. I

t would be helpful to find birth refs for all the children (George, Emma, Louise & Florence). From the census details, I know they were all born in Liverpool...

Louisa

Births Jun 1868
MOODY Louisa Liverpool 8b 233

Eveline

Births Sep 1870

Moody Eveline Liverpool 8b 195

Excellent to see Louisa and Eveline's birth references.

Just had a thought - George could have been born as Reg said to a previous marriage (in which case he would have a different surname). Or George's year of birth could be later than what is being shown on the 1881 census.

We need to try to find a death for James Moody between 1870 & 1883

Nicki

True - trying to find James' death between 1870 - 1881 may be hard - especially as we don't know where he was born; and we haven't found him on any census. However, I am sure that with all the information that has been found, that someone will be able to find it.

There were quite a few threads on this family last April.
Don't want to bump them up as old threads cause confusion but if you use the names eg William Peart, Florence Moody in the Advanced Search it will bring them up

Andy

Andy,

You have found the thread which is to do with Florence's marriage to William Peart. I now have that marriage certificate and am trying to work backwards to find out more information about Florence's parents etc...

It would be helpful to find James' marriage to Emma and also his death which occurred between 1871 - 1880 as his wife Emma is shown as a widow in 1881.

You should have a look on IGI and the hughwallis site and see if you can pin down a birth for Emma to get her maiden name - according to the census she was born about 1835.

You then need to try to find a marriage for her to her first husband - to get her surname for her marriage to James Moody.

The following are the marriages of a James Moody to an Emma between the period 1848 - 1870.

Nicki

Nicki,

Have had a look on the IGI site to see if I can find her marriage to James Moody but have not had any joy.

Have not heard of the Hughwallis site - what is its web address please?

Thank you for the marriages you have found for James Moody - you certainly have given me some information to go on.

I am really grateful for all the help which people have given me - thank you all!

Regards

Rachel

Just google 'hughwallis'

Nicki

The Hughwallis site is really good - have bookmarked it for future reference.

Have gone through the list of Emma's - there are 2 which are born in Market Drayton, Shropshire - Emma Smith (b1833) and Emma Farnill (although its been spelt Farnell, so 1 of these could be the Emma we're looking for....

Have looked through the Emma's which are listed above as marrying James Moody and am not sure which one it is.

Maybe I should request a birth certificate - would this show if Emma had married before?

I think that Emma filled this one in putting George as Head and herself as mother and then got confused and gave the relationship of the others to herself. The indexers have given Eva and louisa the surname of the family next door. I assume the enumerator misheard or misread Morley for Moody - it's not that much different.
