Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 32 Send Message	I have been trying to find more info on my G Grand Father Benjamin Arthur Moore b 1874/75. He was married to Elizabeth White in 1908 in Coleford Somerset. They had three children - Kenneth 1910, Gerald 1912, Zaida 1914. I have not been able to find them on any census but have just found them on the 1911 census living at Yew Tree Cottage, Coleford where he appears to have his brother Charley living with him. I am particularly interested in find the marriage info so I can find his fathers name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
