Gloria No I havent seen that one. My Zachs parents were James and Louisa Moy. Carole xx

Gloria Yes I found that earlier as well! When funds allow I will send for that one, it might give me a clue, cheers. Carole xx

This could be the above James, if so he, is not the son of who we hoped. View Record Alice Moy abt 1869 Frankport, Norfolk, England Wife Morston Norfolk ***View Record James Moy abt 1895 Morston, Norfolk, England Son Morston Norfolk View Record Lily Moy abt 1892 Morston, Norfolk, England Daughter Morston Norfolk View Record Robert Moy abt 1868 Fakenham, Norfolk, England Head Morston Norfolk Gloria :-((((

Found this, I know the date is wrong but could he be a son ?? it is the right area. Might be worth getting the cert. Name: James Zachariah Moy Year of Registration: 1894 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Walsingham County: Norfolk Volume: 4b Page: 279 Gloria :-))))

Gloria Yes I found that census, but no Zach! He would have been 24 in 1881 so could have married or been working away, possibly emigrated as I can't find him. He had a sister who has disappeared also. Carole xx

Taking the details from 1871, here is mother, father and brother in 1881, no Zachariah Record James Moy abt 1808 East Barsham, Norfolk, England Head West Barsham Norfolk View Record James Moy abt 1849 West Barsham, Norfolk, England Son West Barsham Norfolk View Record Louisa Moy abt 1818 Norwich, Norfolk, England Wife West Barsham Norfolk Gloria :-)

Rachel Yes thats him. He disappears after 71, cant find him in any census after that. Can't find a birth or death for him either. Carole xx

Gloria, I think this is the one that Carole found 1861 Zacarhias Moy abt 1857 West Barsham, Norfolk, England Son West Barsham Norfolk 1871 Zachariah Moy abt 1857 West Barsham, Norfolk, England Son West Barsham Norfolk (Unfortunatly I can't access the households!)

It is possable the child was never registered! The law was tightened in the 1870's to ensure parents registered the children but before many parents beleived that baptisum was a cheaper alternative.

Carole, I have looked for Zephamah in 1861 + 1871 but cannot find one. Where have you found Zachariah? Gloria

Jean Never heard of Zephamah! I have a Zachariah Moy born in 1857 Walsingham District but hes nowhere to be found, this is the only possibility, wonder if they spelt his name wrong? Carole xx

Just had another look, and I cannot see it being Zachariah. There is a thread on here somewhere today that says Ancestry 1881 is difficult to search at the moment. Gloria :-)))

?phaman/h (last letter could be either but their looks like a faint tail for a H) the first letter looks like a 4 but I wondered if it should be a L. The name above is Hannah Maria Catherine Elizabeth MOY The name below is Ellen MOYE so your childs name begins with a letter between H and Z.

Gloria I was hoping you would say Zachariah!! Can't find him anywhere but he's in 61 - 71 census. Then he does a disappearing act. Carole xx

Ophamah ???? Gloria :-))))

Would a kind person please look at a birth record for me, I need the christian name deciphering! The surname is Moy, Dec Qtr 1856, it's the 4th name down, image number 242, District Walsingham. Thankyou. Carole xx
