Sorry Livio, You do have to register with them to navigate and search fully. It is free: you can do so on this certificate ordering page too.... >Certificate Ordering & Register<

Great link Carole, I just bookmarked it for the future!!

Ok I've submitted the order...
Thanks to all. I'll let you know when I receive the certificate.

Thanks a lot, I don't know how to check. The only thing I know is that James was rich, he owned a yacht and traveled around the world.

I have received the Marriage record of James Drake and Jane Moore:

Strange enough the birth dates are missing, but now I know that James' father was Moses and Jane's father was James Adolphus.

There are a couple of things that I cannot decipher: The name of the Chapel and Jane's condition. And which is the name of the town where they got married?

Spinster is the condition, Jane's father's name - James Aolphus Moore, Chapel - ? still working on it.

Sardinian Chapel?, St. Giles in the Field, St. George Bloomsbury

Town is The Sardinian Chapel, the district of 'St. Giles in the Fields', St Georges, Bloomsbury, in the County of Middlesex (Bloomsbury is a part of London)

Janes condition is 'Spinster'...

I think you will find >THIS<this interesting


Thank heavens - at last some andwriting that 'I' can understand!

Great Carol. I guess we have better luck with the Kings English. Wish I was successful at Italian. Thank goodness we have Livio and you.

Awesome!!!! I am so happy you got this.





I believe these are Jane Moore's parents in the 1851 Census (They are in Westminster by then, still The City of London I believe)

James Adolphus Moore 1851 Census

In 1861 we learn James is from County Cork Ireland

James Adolphus Moore 1861 Census

notice how James' son Alfred is listed as having been born in "St. Pancras" in 1836. That places the family in St. Pancras, which works well with the residence of your Jane Moore at the time of her 1846 marriage. We won't even go into the fact there is only one James Adolphus Moore in London during this period, and with a wife named Jane....

Pretty compelling evidence. Also, Jane (his wife) even lists the town in Cork County Ireland she was born in.


It looks to be "Ring, County Cork" which is in the Civil Parish of Kilmacdonogh.

also I found this:



Parish of Saint George, Hanover Square, County Middlesex (London)

Page 88

James Adolphus Moore married Jane Austen 26 February 1828




From The Cork Examiner, 3 December 1861
On the 26th ult., at his residence, 2, Tenterden-street,
Hanover-square, London, aged 71, James Adolphus Moore, Esq.,
R.M.A., grandson of Sir Emanuel Moore, Bart., county of Cork."

Wow!! Nobility!

here is information on the Moore's of Cork:

Congratulations Livio

The certifiate lists her age as minor...........would that mean for that time period she was under 18 or under 21? Looks like his age is listed as full age.
