I do have the marriage cert and the census you show here, sorry I don't know how to copy and paste.
Henry Moore is the gr.grandson of Ann Mitchell and the son of Margaret Moore nee Stewart .

In case you don't have it, this will be his parents' marriage:

So Sorry ,

He is on the 1891 with his parents, they are Henry Moore b c 1840 Ireland and Margaret b c 1843 Glasgow.

The address in 1891 was 91, Yorkhill street Anderston, Glasgow.

Have you found his parents in 1891 (he would only have been 11, so unlikely to have emigrated by then). What were his parents' names?

Could we please have the names of other family members? That way we can pick up on his 1881 census and see if we can find anything else.

Thanks jax,
That's very kind but I have so many brick walls I wouldn't know where to start .

One in particular is my grandad's brother Alexander Moore d.o.b. 26/4/1880 in Glasgow. He just seems to have disappeared after 1881 .

I can't find a marriage or death for him in Scotland so he possibly went to England or emigrated , his older sister went to Liverpool with her family , they are on the 1911 census and another sister emigrated to Canada , this is why I thought FMP may help.

You could always ask on here, someone will look it up for you

Thank you for replying Chris

I agree with Reggie.

However bad the writing you will be able to make your own decision as to what you see.

Chris

Thanks very much Reggie ,
I will keep that in mind .

Image...............every time, for anything

This is probably one of the silliest questions I have ever asked but here goes.

Which is best to view an Image or a Transcription ?

I have a few credits left on FMP and don't want to waste them .

thank you
