Nudge still looking!!! any help appreciated

Jess thanks for looking those up for me . I have printed it down and will check against the information i have already. The Moorers I found in 1881 Were at 8 Gilbert Court Southwark, St. George the Martyr. They were wrongly listed as Moores. Andrew 1838 lambeth surrey head andrew 1863 lambeth surrey son ann 1838 City of Lodon Middlesex Wife Elizabeth 1876 Lambeth Daughter John 1872 lambeth son Thomas 1865 lambeth son. John was my grandfather His father Andrew married Ann Knight. I have traced the births of the other children and I know they were all Moorers not Moores. I cannot find this family on the earlier census returns although I know Andrew was born St. Marys Lambeth. His parents were Thomas & Matilda Moorer. I found the births for their children and their deaths but again Thomas & Matilda do not seem to be on the census. I even bought the 1841 census for Lambeth and I can't find them. I do not know where Thomas and matilda came from. I went to Metropolitan archives found the births for their children St. Mary Lambeth but could not find their marriage . There is one child Thomas Moorer whose birth I could not find I think he was the eldest. I found his marriage. The first birth I found was 1821 and occupation of father was Fisherman. They lived John street , St Mary Lambeth. The 1901 marriage for John Moorer is my grandfather He died 1816 from wounds in WW1. matildas marrige in 1844 is one of Thomas & matildas children The Thomas marriage in 1838 lambeth is the missing childs marriage. Thomas death 1845 lambeth & Matilda 1856 are the Thomas & matilda I am trying to trace. Any ideas where I go from here.

Nudge Anyone know where the Moorers come from?????? PLEASE

Helen Yes I think it could be an alternative spelling. When I have searched ancestry it often comes up. I have tried to search for Thomas using many variations of the surname. I tried searching for Matilda ( which is not such a common name) using date of birth (which I worked out from her death cert) without putting in Surname still no luck. Seems they did not fill in census returns for some reason. Thank you very much for your help. New eyes often find what the searcher has missed. kind regards Kathy

I went to school with a Paul Maurer who pronounced his name Moorer. Could this be an alternative spelling?

vera Your point about the miss-spelling of the name is correct I found the family in 1881 ( or rather someone found them for me) listed as Moores. I checked them all out getting marriage and birth certificates and posted the correction to Moorer. On ancestry it now appears Moores & Moorer. My grandfather received medals in the first world war and on his medal card he is listed as John Moorer on the medal it says John Moores. I have marriage and birth certificates all saying Moorer. I have tried searching Moor, moore,Morrer, moores as so on its really hard. On Andrew marriage cert he is shown as Cab driver so your 1861 entry seems possible. Can you find it again??? PLEASE

leah Thomas death 1845 & Matilda death 1856 are my Thomas and Matilda but the crtificates don't give any clues at all. The Matilda Marriage 1844 I think is their daughter. The mary ann birth and Death I am not sure where they fit in. The reigate 1660 will Thomas Moorer Shoemaker. How do I find more details? The Jane Moorer in 1871 I think might be the wife of the William and Jane couple The age is correct. I wonder if I can find out more about her. Do you know it you can search workhouse records? I would like details for the Family Hisotry on line site if you can send them. I will contact you directly and give you my e-mail address. I would like to thank you for all your hard work. You seem to answer most of my requests for help and have pointed my in the right direction several times. Thank you so much Kathy

Belle Ann,Caroline,Matilda Jane and Andrew are all in my direct line Andrew born 1837 was my great grandfather.Children ot Thomas & Matilda Mary Francis is the Daughter of William & Jane Moorer who lived in St. mary Lambeth at the same time. I assume Thomas and William are brothers but since I can't track their births I cannot be sure. For Jane Moorer 1805 I have no details can you supply Thanks for checking it out for me. I am going round in circles

vera B I cannot find Andrew in 1861 on ancestry. Could you please let me have the exact details of how you found him. Regards Kathy

...and finally, lol, I searched on 'FamilyHistoryOnline' website and 69 entries came up. Records date from early 1600s upwards and were mainly for Surrey/Sussex/Berks/Wilts and Hants areas. Again, if you need any particular info, let me know. Leah

Kathleen, A few more bits and pieces for your files: BOYDS MARRIAGE INDEX: 1811 MOORER SARA(Bride) MOOR JOS (Groom) WESTMINSTER (ST GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE) MIDDLESEX WILLS OF CANTERBURY: 1660 - Reigate, Surrey - Thomas Moorer - Shoemaker 1871 CENSUS: MOORER JANE Inmate F 72 Middlesex WORKHOUSE, MINT STREET SOUTHWARK ST GEORGE THE MARTYR London-Surrey (Thought this was interesting due to her age - would have been born c1799ish - possible wife of one of your Moorers?) Regards Leah

Hi Kathleen I have also found entries for Moorers (57 of them listed on Ancestry UK). Here are a few names of those in Lambeth: 1842 - Mary Ann - birth 1844 - Mary Ann - death 1843 - John - death 1844 - Matilda - marriage 1845 - Thomas - death 1856 - Matilda - death If you can't access Ancestry and want full details of these and any others, let me know by private message. Regards Leah

Hi Kathleen, just had a quick look on IGI familysearch and found several Moorers for you, Mary Francis Moorer, all are christening dates 1 july 1832, Ann Moorer 3 jan 1830. Caroline Moorer 3 feb 1828. Jane Moorer 20 dec 1805. Andrew Moorer 31 may 1837. Matilda Jane Moorer 15 jan 1826. All the above are born St. Mary's Lambeth. There are even a few marriages on there and loads of Moorers in Croydon. Hope this leads you somewhere. Love Belle.

Hi Kathleen, Apparently on the census' some Moorers have been misspelt as Moores....just to add to the puzzle. In 1861 have found an Andrew aged 43 with family he is a cab driver. from St Georges Southwark, onof the children is named Thomas. Regards Vera

I am trying to trace this very elusive family of my mothers. There are very few people with this name in the country but I can't seem to find mine. I am looking for Thomas & Matilda Moorer who lived in late 1700's early 1800's. They lived in St. Mary Lambeth from 1821 to 1837 but where they were before that I do not know. They do not seem to appear on any census records until 1881. I would like to ask that if anyone sees this family name in the course of their research, if they spot the name on parish records or even on old census records, death, birth or any other type of record in any part of the counrty or even ireland. Could you please let me know. Any Moorers. The name seems to have almost died out there are very few Moorers on the electoral role and I would like to find out what I can about the family. Any information would help. Thank you Kathy
