	Yes I have marriage cert for that. He "invented" the Henry part of his name which resuted in me buying 2 wrong birth certs before finding him as plain George!

	I just checked image for the census you both gave me, am intrigued now as a lot on the page are brick makers. George came from a family that owned a brick yard. hmmm wonder if he abandoned his first family and got re married bigamously

	hi all, just me again. am very excited and need to share it with people who understand! Just phoned register office for a copy of the cert of George Moore and Mary Ann Hawthorn. I asked them if the grooms fathers name was Henry and it is!! too much co incidence here. I checked the 1901 census for George and Mary and their eldest daughter is called Hannah (Georges mothers name!) can hardly wait now to get it tomorrow
