Poor little Charles. I had wondered if there were other children - and of course there may be more after 1849.

Elizabeth had a daughter Grace born Canada about 1852, according to her (Grace's) marriage record:

For names of parents, it says "Elizabeth Moor, widow".

Okay, here is a family on the 1861 Canada census at Darlington, Durham, Canada West:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...&pId=797539725

Robert Moore, occupation Yoeman (sic) born England age 53
Elizabeth Moore wife born England age 49
Mary Moore born England age 15
John Moore born England age 12
Grace Moore born England age 9
James Moore born Canada age 7.

I think there may be a free version of this elsewhere so will have a look.

Edit - it is on FamilySearch but you have to go to a FamilySearch Centre to view the image.

Meanwhile, there is a Grace Moore birth reg Jul-Sep 1852 Stratton, but the online GRO index has MMN as Jewell.

Here is Robert's death record:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...rce&pId=866582

Turnberry Twp, Huron, Ontario, Canada
Robt Moor, died 1 Aug 1870 age 60. Farmer, born England. Cause of death Consumption. Informant John Moor, blacksmith, Turnberry. Registered 10 Jan 1871. Religion: Bible Christian.

The next entry is James Moore, died 5 Aug 1870 age 16, farmer's son born Darlington Ont, cause of death rheumatic fever. John Moor is also the informant for that one, registered the same day as Robert.

None of which settles the question of whether he is your Robert! I was hoping the death record would give his parents' names.

Really odd. It doesn't appear to be the same family as James Moore and Elizabeth Jewell living in Bideford in 1851.
