Find Ancestors

I have been trying to find for 3 years. Richard Moore was born in Kent England 1887. He married Mary Young and they went to Canada.They may have had a son named Reginald. Last known address was in Fredericton Canada . His parents were Richard Mannering Moore and Rosa Taylor. His siblings were Mercy, Elizabeth, William, Florence and a half sister Mabel. Any help greatly appreciated thanks

for ref:-

Marriages Dec 1909 (>99%)
BATT Kate Cranbrook 2a 1679
xxxx MOORE Richard William Cranbrook 2a 1679
PHILLIPS Harry Cranbrook 2a 1679
xxxx YOUNG Mary Ilene Cranbrook 2a 1679
The district Cranbrook spans the boundaries of the counties of Kent and Sussex

Are you just looking to find out what happened to him in Canada?

There is this birth:-
Births Jun 1909 (>99%)
Moore Reginald William S Cranbrook 2a 934
(same reg.dist. as the marriage) ?


Possible children born after 1911?

Births Sep 1913 (>99%)
Moore Alfred C Young Cranbrook 2a 1913

Births Dec 1920 (>99%)
Moore Eileen N Young Cranbrook 2a 1684

When did they go to Canada?

ok Cranbrook is where the family lived in England. Farming was the family occupation too. I am trying to find any living relatives now in Canada. He kept in touch with his family in England until about 20 yrs ago.
The female birth in Cranbrook Eileen is probably right as his wife was Mary Eileen Young

Possible birth of the Richard from Colin's posting:-

Births Jun 1911 (>99%)
Moore Richard W Ticehurst 2b 94

and this is probably Arthur's (aged 5yrs)

Births Mar 1924 (>99%)
Moore Arthur H Young Maidstone 2a 1429

he kept in touch with his younger brother William Moore who we knew nothing about untill recently so this is a branch of my family that I am very interested in. I'm also trying to find the younger sister FLORENCE MAUD MOORE.I found her on 1901 census as Florence Moore then on 1911 census she's listed as Florence Bowles ( her mother Rosa Taylor who was a widow married Stephen Bowles) but when I tried to find a marriage for her I hit brick wall, she may have reverted back to Moore not sure.

Marriages Sep 1901 (>99%)
Bowles Stephen Cranbrook 2a 1713
CONNOLLY Julia Cranbrook 2a 1713
Moore Rosa Cranbrook 2a 1713
WAGHORNE Charles Cranbrook 2a 1713

(so Rosa stayed in the same district)


There is this one (same reg.dist.)

Burgess Mary A Cranbrook 2a 2002
Farley Frederick Cranbrook 2a 2002
xxxx Moore Florence M Cranbrook 2a 2002

When was Florence born?

1911 for reference. 6 children had been born to Rosa but 4 had died.

re Catherines post, My grandad who was also Reginald had a cousin Reginald who came to visit from Canada in the early 60's so the 1909 birth is probably him but there's been had no contact since. I found Richards younger brother William 3 years ago and his wife wrote to me with the last known address

1911

Florence is noted as Bowles, but Moore?

There's also a Reginald Moore!


EDIT:-
Rosa is noted as having 6 children - 2 living and 4 having died?

Just realised, there's a George Onions noted as Boarder in 1911 census and he is also on the marriage record I posted, so looks like Florence probably married George Onion!!

also just realised my friends daughter has a friend whose surname is Onion and were about 20 miles from Cranbrook so fairly I will contact her to see if there's a connection there How amazing!

thanks to you all thats given me some info to go on . Have a good holiday Catherine

On that 1929 passenger list they were:
Richard, 43, born Prittenden
Mary, wife, 40, born Belfast, Ireland
Richard, son, 18, born Lamberhurst
Alfred, son, 16, born Hankhurst?
Eileen, dau, 8, born Cranbrook
Henry, son, 6, born Staplehurst

Passage was paid by Church Army.
They were going to Church Army, St. John, New Brunswick
Nearest relative at home was sister Mrs. Mercy Madria, Goddard Green, Bendin, Kent.

It's Frittenden and Hawkhurst. Last known address in Canada was Fredericton New Brunswick. Not sure about the sister at home Richard had a sister Mercy but she was Moore then married an Orpin so maybe Mrs Mercy Madria was Mary's sister. I think Bendin is either Biddenden or Benenden which are both local places

so is it possible to search records in Canada? does anyone know if there's a local history society in NB and I wonder what church army is
