Robert Moore and Elizabeth Epplett
Several Ancestry trees show this couple, with their son John Epplett Moore b Stratton, Cornwall 1849.
When they marry, in 1842, Robert is the son of James Moore. Father's occupation of Labourer may refer to either or both of the fathers. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...0438&pId=66947 Robert is in Poughill in 1841 as a servant aged 35: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...438&pId=589238 The family emigrate to Canada some time after John's baptism. But there is a large, unaccounted gap between 1849 and 1870. Robert has, I think, disappeared by then. I have a Robert Moore/Moors bp 1810, son of James, born in Hamworthy, Dorset of whom no more is known. Now, could these two Roberts be one and the same person, as suggested by my hints? Can anyone find him on censuses 1851/1861? Emigration records? Burial?

He was 32 on marriage, so born c. 1810.

The father's occupation on that marriage cert says Farmer, not Labourer, Phoenix. On both copies. Robert's occupation is Labourer. I think the most interesting thing about the marriage cert is that it was copied out into the next entry and then the copy was crossed out. Was the clerk supposed to be copying it into the register office book and accidentally wrote it in the church one? Shouldn't he have checked the number was right before filling it in?!
Now I will have a look at your actual questions...!

Thanks, Elizabeth.
32 puts him spot on for my man, and Poughill is on the coast near Bude, so not impossible to reach from Poole, but I do wonder if the census is right - and if so, was he actually nearer 42?

Quote:
While I should have said farmer, it appears to relate to Elizabeth's father, not Robert's.
