Moy family in Norfolk UK - request for help.
Can you help?
I have been researching my family and have traced my Great, Great Great Grandfather back to Skeyton Norfolk.I am in Australia and access to UK Parish records is not that easy to get.
At the time of the 1851 Census William Moy was 35 - a schoolmaster born Skeyton Nfk.He was married to Sophia 36 (maiden name unknown)she was a school mistress born Aylsham Nfk and they had four children Barbara 12 born Felmingham, William 10 born Felmingham Nfk(this is my Great Great Grandfather) James 5 born Felmingham Nfk and Harriet Eliza 4 born in same place.If you could help look up a date of the marriage for William and Sophia that would be great. I want to apply for a copy of certificate so I would need Vol and Page numbers.
I also am trying to find more information about the William born Felmingham who was 10 in the above Census(my Great Great Grandfather).According to the 1891 Census he had at least 2 sons John born Kinsale Ireland 1866 and Henry 1873 Bengal India.William and Henry were staying with JOhn and his wife Sarah in Middlesbrough on the night of the Census. He was by then an army pensioner.I also know that William was still alive in the 1901 Census and lived back in Wisbech Norfolk and was married to a woman called MAry.
This must have been a second wife as Henry's mother was called JAne.I have not been able to discover anything about when and where JAne and William were married. As John was born in Ireland maybe she was Irish.Since I can't find the date of a marriage I can't obtain a copy of the marriage certificate. I have applied for a birth certificate for John Moy, but as yet haven't received it.Can you help me find more information?
