Charity Moss was baptised in Tunbridge Wells Kent in 1836, born on 8th October 1836, daughter of George Moss and Elizabeth Clarke. Now on a hunt to find them.
Peter Hagger's hunch about Henry Hagger's marriage cert was spot on. Henry Hagger married
Mary Ann Wrettam Thompson on Nov 7th 857 in St James Church Shoreditch. Henry's father is given as William Hagger and the marriage is witnessed by Elizabeth Emma Hagger. Which makes it certain that the William and Mira Hagger I have found over the censuses are his parents as Emma Elizabeth is also one of their offspring. Mary Ann was previously married to someone called Thompson as she is shown as a widow on the marriage cert to Henry. Henry has several other siblings apart from Elizabeth Emma, there is a Mira junior, a Walter, a William and an Ann. William is shown as a carpenter on the 1851 census and they seem to have lived around London all their lives although Mira Bigny says on all the census returns that she was born in Norfolk in around 1817.
I've also made a breakthrough on the Chambers'. I've discovered that John Robert's father, quoted as being John Robert Carlus on his marriage cert seems to have gone by the name of Robert on all the census' and I think I've found his marraige to Priscilla Grosvnor (sp) in 1875 in Birmingham. This is a second marriage, the eldest son Alfred must be of another marriage I haven't yet found. Priscilla is almost definitely John Robert's mum though and there are two other children noted on the 1881 census for this marriage Emma aged 5 and Amelia aged 4.
By 1891 Priscilla is married to a Thomas Smith so am looking for Robert's death cert atm.

Hi Jenny, My father was William Edward Collison and he was married to Dora Brown. I would very much like to contact you about the Brown Family. I have been searching for ages for any information about Dora and in desperation I just googled William and up popped your blog. Can we somehow get in touch without going public please. Thanks
Jan.
