I think I've just found an ancestor
I couldn't find Sarah Moore widow b 1785 in the 1841 census.
I expected her to be here: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...m1&pid=4808938 because she was with her daughter in Poole in 1851: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...m1&pid=5562523 I have been looking for her since (at least) 1969. Today I found this: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...m1&pid=8096382

lol!! Similar happened to me the other day when I spent forever (almost) looking for a census record which turned out to be very badly transcribed. When I eventually found the right page it looked very familiar because I already had the image attached to my tree, but hadn't noticed there were two families from my tree living nextdoor to each other!!
It didnt take me over 40 years to sort out though!!! *runs away hastily*

Yes, looks very likely indeed.

It's 1841, when relationships aren't given and Sarah is living in sin with her dead sister's husband  Oh, and Sarah is just about the most popular girls's name in my family.In the 1960s we turned up at the vicarage, banged on the door and demanded to see the registers  . They were the first parish registers I had ever seen and owing to a little disagreement between Royalists & Roundheads, there was no church there until the 1820s. I thought Susan was Sarah's only daughter, as she was the only one baptised in Hamworthy, but there were at least five siblings. Looking again at the 1841 census, just about everyone one that page is related.

I searched for a marriage our Elizabeth-Mary for ages, and finally found it in London, far away from home, but when I then checked for her under her married name in the next census - they were living next door to her father in the small Berkshire village !!!
My son wants to go to Fiji to get married - that is going to make it very hard for his descendents to find, when he is fifth generation Australian and everybody is very well-documented. Di Last edited by marquette; 08-12-12 at 02:08.

If my lady hadn't at least made the attempt to get married, I would never, ever have found her. At least she left her little marker in the sand. some people go out of their way not to be found.

My last post from yesterday isn't showing
I couldn't see Sarah's death reg. Do you know what surname she died with? (or is she still alive like a lot of my ancient relations!)

Sarah Moore/Moor/Moors is a bit of a bummer, but I do have her death certificate. I thought it was wrong when I got it, because it shows her as widow of William Moore, shipwright
 She died in Portsmouth workhouse, having moved to Portsea with her daughter's family. Forty years ago, I thought a move from inland Dorset (home to the Tolpuddle Martyrs) to the coast was A GOOD THING. But the housing and/or sanitation must have left a lot to be desired because a huge percentage of them popped their clogs before they were sixty.
