A Brief History Of The Moore Family In Letheringsett

The history of the Moore family in Letheringsett consists of 3 generations (and possibly more) that are known to me.

Edmund Moore - Son of Matthew Moore and Elizabeth Barber Gidney
Edmund Moore, my great grandfather, was born in Letheringsett and moved to London England in 1858.  I have a copy of his baptismal certificate from the microfilmed Letheringsett Parish Records at the Norfolk Archives in Norwich.  He died in London

Matthew Moore - Son of Stephen Moore & Sarah Page
His father and mother were Matthew Moore (1792 - 1852) and Elizabeth Barber Moore(nee Gidney) (1799 - ????).  I have copies of Matthew Moore's baptismal, banns and marriage records - all from the Letheringsett Parish Records.  His death is recorded in the Parish Records.  Matthew Moore is buried in Letheringsett

Elizabeth Barber Gidney - Daughter of John Gidney & Ann Barber
Elizabeth Barber Gidney was the wife of Matthew Moore and mother of Edmund Moore.  I have copies of her baptismal, banns and marriage records - all from the Letheringsett Parish Records.  On the death of her husband, Matthew Moore, she moved to London to live with her son, Edmund.  I don't know when or where she died or is buried.  

Stephen Moore - Father of Matthew Moore; Husband of Sarah Page
Stephen Moore was born around 1758 and died 01 November 1804.  I can't find any records of his baptism, including baptisms in the surrounding parishes.  He married Sarah Page 23 September 1787 at St Andrew's Letheringsett.  His death is recorded in the Letheringsett Parish Records.  I have copies of his burial, his marriage to Sarah Page, and their bans.  He is buried in St Andrew's Church grave yard.  

Sarah Page - Wife of Stephen Moore, Mother of Matthew Moore
Sarah Page was born around 1758.  I can't find her baptism in the Letheringsett Parish Records nor in the records of the surrounding parishes.  Baptisms of Pages are recorded in the Thornage Parish Records but no mention is made of a Sarah Page.  I have copies of her banns and marriage records.  Her burial is recorded in the Parish Records.  She died 01 June 1836 and is buried in St Andrew's Church grave yard.

 Children of Matthew Moore & Elizabeth Barber Gidney Buried In St Andrew's Grave Yard
The following infant children of Matthew Moore and Elizabeth Barber Gidney were buried in St Andrew's grave yard:

• Hannah Moore Born & Baptized Private 17 November 1830, Buried 21 November 1830

• Elizabeth Moore Born & Baptized 07 August 1841; Buried 27 June 1852

Child of Stephen Moore & Sarah Page Buried In St Andrew's Grave Yard
The following child of Stephen Moore & Sarah Page were buried in St Andrew's grave yard:

• Sarah Moore Born 23 May 1790; Buried 25 July 1803

When I tromped around the graveyard that surrounds St Andrew's church, I couldn't find any gravestones.  Given the financial circumstances of the family, it is highly unlikely that they could afford gravestones.
