Brummiejan thank you!

Stupidly I don't have the marriage certificate with me, but the Charles Moore is definitely the Hammond one. I know their son was William Moore and born in Guildford c 1862. Never thought it could be Harriet and will progress this line and see where I get too.

Thank you so much!

Hi - I've got the marriage certificate of my greatx3 grandparents which shows that my GPx3 was Charles Moore born c1842 and he married Harvicell Stillwell b c1842. I'm not 100% sure that this is how you spell her name as it's difficult to read the writing on the certificate. I can't find her in any of teh census records and don't know how to progress her line back further. I've hit a bit of a brick wall and it's frustrating - any suggestions on what to do next? Thank you!
