In case parents ever living with him -
The 1851 census shows John to not know where he was born, just states under Where Born - Unknown British subject which may well fit with his Father being in the Army. It would suggest a birth overseas perhaps

I have a marriage certificate for my 4times Grandfather John Moore, it states his father was also John Moore and that he is a soldier. The marriage took place in Denver Norfolk. Any suggestions as to how I can follow up on this ? Was there a army presence in Norfolk at this time ? (1841 )
Any help appreciated.
