Ancestry cross ref to Percival James Moore

Hello Noreen, do you know the names of the parents?

'Still' searching suggests a previous post..................

IF he died as a result of service in WW1, his death record will be on the CWGC site

Is this the Charles (1879 - 1960) as it has some of the correct siblings in the family, (but Percy does not fit in with the suggested birth date and military record found)

If Percival born 1877 and Charles born 1879, they should be together on the 1881 census. Have you found them?
Thanks

What is the source of your info about these people?

If Percival was born 1877 he'd be a little old to be killed in WW1.

These names ring a bell, was he previously found as Percy?

However, have searched and can't find a thread.

This seems to be the closest Percival on the London baptisms. Birthdate was 12 Nov. 1878, Father a gentleman, Address 13 Shatford Place.

pm from Noreen:

"His father's name was Charles William Moore and he was a Farrier/Blacksmith.
Kind regards,
Noreen Moore"

(Have explained about replying on here)

On the 1891 that patchem posted above the father Charles is a farrier. Given the siblings names I'm sure that must be the right family and that there's an error about Percy/Percival's birth year.

Noreen, could you confirm if the 1891 census posted above is the right family (just use the "add your reply" box below).

I can't find him on any census with the family you mention.

Hi Marie Celeste,

I think you are right - patchem is very much close or possibly the exact family. It seems I have been given my great grandmothers name , which I was also desperately searching. I think Patchem has done an excellent result.
Huge thanks all round, I am so grateful
Noreen Moore

Pleased you found your way here Noreen!

Which one of the children are you descended from? Will try to find some further records.

Charles W Moore 1879 Apr-May-Jun 1960 York Yorkshire East Riding

I have my info re my grandfather Charles William Moore, (brother of Percival Moore) who was born 1879 in London... married Rose Gertrude Mc Donald who was ten years younger than him, in 1913. He was a regular soldier and in 1916 he was posted to Wales to a place called Conway leading up to end of WW1 in 1918.

Then C W Moore and Wife Rose moved to 20 Hungate for the birth of my father Philip on 1 st October 1918.
