They just disappear! They could have died of course but Moore is a very common name and there are several possibilities but I’m reluctant to spend a fortune on pure speculation. Of the children the only one I have in 1871 is William with his wife Jane in Stepney. Henry (b 1849) and Walter (b 1853) marry in 1874 and 1873 respectively but cannot find them in 1871 (Henry is a common name – there are possibles) The 4 younger children James, Arthur, Frederick and Alfred are hiding too although again it’s such a common name that there are possibles on their own, in institutions or in the death indexes. Over to you!
