Hi everyone,
please could some kind person have a look on Ancestry, to see if they can locate this family on the 1851 census for me, as this census is not available on the "findmypast" website.

They are:
Anthony Moore & his wife Beatrice Moore both b. c.1800 (+ or - 10yrs) I have no idea where Anthony was born, but Beatrice was born in Yorkshire (around the Richmond area). On the 1841 census they had 3 children listed, Charles aged 10, Richard aged 7 & Joseph aged 3yrs.
I suspect by the 1851 census there must be more children - but one in particular I know of is Mary Ann b.1842 in Bishopwearmouth area (poss.Sunderland) that is of course if she is still alive by 1851.

Any help would be really useful. I am most interested in find Anthony's occ. (likely a Slater) & also that of his eldest son Charles. Need to confirm if Charles' birthplace is Yorkshire (Leeds) or Sunderland, & if he too is a Slater?

Very best regards, Suzy.

On the one I found, Anthony the son is a slater.

Hi Sue,
I think your findings could be my missing link. Could I ask you to check Anthony's occupation & also re Beatrice, could you have a look at the original transcription & check on her age & name. Its strange but Batress has come up before???
Regards, Suzy

Hi Claire, many thanks for your look up - I already had this info together with that of Mary Ann's baptism - same parents - but baptised in bishopwearmouth.
Thanks again,
Suzy

Beatrice dose look more like Batress on the image. She is aged 40 and born in Richmond Yorkshire.

It also looks as if Richard could be 17. He was born Sunerland as was the young daughter. He has labourer in the occupation column but this has been crossed through.

Thanks for the additional info Sue, this confirms what I've been looking for. Richard should be 17 (& not 7) as born 1834 & Beatrice was born around Richmond. It could be her accent as to why her name was transcribed as Batress (her father was Italian & the accent was prominent in the family & also responsible for quite a few mis-transcriptions).

With very best regards & big thanks for all your help,
Suzy.
