I am look ing for a William Mountford born about 1802 in Norton Staffs. He sometimes also went by the name od Moses. I know he married an Elizabeth and I have them together on the 41 and 51. Elizabeth is noted as born 1806 in Ireland
By the time of the 61 Elizabeth is noted married but no William with her and I have not been able to find a death for him.
If any one could trace this couple for me I would be most obliged.

Hi Margaret

Yes it appears that a Sarah Mountford married a George Brown in 1843 so have to presume that the above baptism is hers. I have had a look on the IGI and it seems that there are two sets of William and Elizabeths. From the census I can account for 8 so far.
I will request another look up for the census to see if I can place some of the other baptisms.

Many thanks

Julie

The BVRI has this Moses, son of William & Elizabeth. I realize it can't be your Wm. & Eliz., a grandson. perhaps?
