Moore Family
Looking for members of Edward and Mary Moore of Maidstone,County of Kent around 1840
as they had a daughter by the name of Emma who was born on the 8th of December 1848.
Mary Moores maiden name was Marshall. It maybe possible that Marys mother could be Mary
Marshall ? of maybe Maidenstone.
Edward and Mary i believe according to Emmas birth cert were living in Carey Street in
Maidstone.
I would like to if possible please have any information on Edward and Mary Moore,basically
i would like to know if Emma had any other siblings please if so how many and maybe someone
may have a tidbit on Marys mother that could open another branch.
At some stage the Moore family must of come to New Zealand as she married a Stephen Walter Sharp
