Welcome to the boards, Andy.

When was John born?

Whose marriage cert says "soldier,Ireland" ?
John's, or his son's? What was his son's name?

For our reference -

Is this the son's marriage ?:

George Moore
in the England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973
Name: George Moore
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birth Date: 1844
Marriage Date: 29 Nov 1868
Marriage Place: Denver, Norfolk, England
Father:
John Moore
Spouse:
Sarah Ann Johnson
FHL Film Number: 2186447
Reference ID: 99



EDIT:

No, probably not.
The father is stated to be a labourer, on this record:

George Moore
in the Norfolk, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1936
Name: George Moore
Gender: Male
Marriage Age: 24
Birth Date: abt 1844
Marriage Date: 29 Nov 1868
Marriage Place: Denver, Norfolk, England
Father: John Moore
Spouse: Sarah Ann Johnson

And in various censuses, his father is shown to be born c1815 in Norfolk, so couldn't have joined the army in the early 1800s.




So far, I don't see any other marriage record in Denver for any man with father John.

What record have you found to support the idea that John was recruited in early 1800s ?
