Sorry Damien I should have said that there are no Henry Moores/Moors at all in the right time frame and no other children with the right parents. It is possible that he was baptised in one the surrounding villages since people, when in a different county or country and asked where they were born, might well name the nearest town on the basis that the questioner would have heard of that. I can only see 8 Henry Moores of the right age at the 1861 census who were born in Kent. None of these have a father called Thomas. One has a mother Hannah but was born in Rye Sussex and is enumerated as Thomas W.

It might be that he was baptised as Henry Moore - he is recorded as Henry Thomas on some of his children's documentation, but I can only find one reference on his own, he was Henry Moore the rest of the time. Are there any Henry's with Thomas as a father in the right timeframe? thanks :) Damien > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of eccles > Sent: 20 June 2012 06:29 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [KENT-ENG] Moore family in Dover c 1850 onward? > > Hi all, > > I am hoping someone might be able to help me out.
