Oh, OK - I believe it's in Cambridgeshire, but as you say, perhaps a border parish?
EDIT I've just looked on FreeBMD and Walsoken (where his aunt and uncle said Arthur was born) is also in Wisbech district! So that's one thing straightened out.

Here's Sarah with her brother John and his family in 1851:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...cklabel=Return In Walsoken. There is a one month old baby called Alfred Moyses who is listed as son (of the householder, John), but there's no birth reg for an Alfred Moyses in 1851, so is this Arthur?

Sarah is aged 21 in 1851 and from Wisbech. Still no baptism for her, but there is one for her brother John in 1823 (FreeREG), same parents as for Francis and Mary Ann. (not looking very Jewish at the moment!)
Ancestry think Walsoken is in Cambridgeshire! I thought it was Norfolk...

lol No doubt all this is on other forums or you have it already anyway.
Sarah Moyses married Henry Harris in 1897 , in Lambeth at the age of 65, father John Moyses cabinet maker dec'd. And there was me looking for a marriage 1851-61! So she should be on numerous censuses as a spinster.....

Here she is in 1881 in Lambeth and in the household of her future husband.
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...cklabel=Return Not having too much luck with the other censuses, but this does really confirm it's the right Sarah as she says she is born Wisbech, Cambs.

George Metcalfe, the father of Charles senr and Morehouse wrote a will which is available to view on FMP:
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...f702050503%2f1 It mentions his wife Rebecca and sons Morehouse and Charles amongst others. George is described as a grocer though he did leave a few thousand in 1813.

Back to Sarah Ann Moyses:
She must have died between Dec 1897 and 1901 as her husband (still at the same address as on the marriage cert) is a widower on the 1901 census: Henry Harris Head Widower Male 68 1833 Furniture Dealer b Southwark, Surrey, England Worryingly, the most obvious entry is this one: Deaths Dec 1897 Harris Sarah Ann 65 Lambeth 1d 293 But that would mean she had died within a few days of her marriage (21 Dec) and there would need to be time to register the death in the same quarter. Still possible though. There are no other likely deaths in Lambeth before 1901, so if that's not her, then she died somewhere else which could make finding her tricky as Harris is such a common name.
