Hello,

Joseph Moulton
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening 10 Feb 1810 Nantwich, Cheshire
parent James Moulton, Ann

I'd like to confirm that the above Joseph can't be found in census after 1861.

There is a marriage in NSW in 1864 and this death:

4167/1879 MOULTON JOSEPH AGE 68 YEARS DIED BATHURST BATHURST

No luck so far with shipping records.

There is a private tree I can't view that has 1811 England. No idea if it's a guess based on age at death or not.

Oh:

Deaths Mar 1864
MOULTON Joseph Nantwich 8a 255

Looks as though the following two are also ruled out leaving me with none born England.

The Joseph born abt 1809 Cheshire is in 1871 census as is the one born abt 1811 Suffolk.

Regards,

Dave

Putting in Joseph Moulton born 1810 -/+ 2years only brings up two

One living in Hoxne Suffolk and one in Chester, Cheshire so if you are sure the Chester one isn't yours then he is not there.

Lots of negatives:D

Hello Barbara,

Thanks. :)

I think I talked myself out of England by the time I got to the end of the post.

Looking in FS I can see the Chester and the Suffolk ones in 1871.

I know one married in 1864 but no luck with shipping records so far.

Oh. It pays to search Nantwich.

Regards,

Dave

I have nothing in the Australian records that says he was from Cheshire or even England. The name exists in Ireland also.

I can't see a burial record on FS for the 1864 one. Knowing his age would really help.

I'm stuck for now.

According to a tree:

Joseph Moulton
Birth 1810 Nantwich, Cheshire
Parents James Moulton & Ann Stanley
Death 1868 Worleston, Cheshire
Married Mary Chesters 1831 Acton, Cheshire

This does not fit unless age is 10 years out:

Deaths Sep 1868
MOULTON Joseph 68 Nantwich 8a 252

So is there one born abt 1800?

Joseph Moulton
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening 18 Jul 1797 NANTWICH,CHESHIRE,ENGLAND
parent Joseph Moulton, Margaret

But I think that is the convict. The muster has his birth abt 1797.

So where is the birth of the one who died in 1868?

Joseph Moulton
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening 15 Feb 1803 NANTWICH,CHESHIRE,ENGLAND
parent John Moulton, Mary

Yes, Barbara. Lots of deaths too in Nantwich.

It's also possible the Joseph in my tree have married previously.

Age at death still points to this one:

Joseph Moulton
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening 10 Feb 1810 Nantwich, Cheshire
parent James Moulton, Ann

The convict and the non-convict both from Nantwich, Cheshire and both in Bathurst, NSW.

This one is interesting:

name: Mary Moulton
event: Census
event date: 1861
gender: Female
age: 50
relationship to head of household: Wife
birthplace: Acton, Cheshire
record type: Household
registration district: Nantwich
sub-district: 2 Nantwich
ecclesiastical parish:
civil parish: Worleston
county: Cheshire

name: Joseph Moulton
event: Census
event date: 1861
gender: Male
age: 50
relationship to head of household: Head
birthplace: Nantwich, Cheshire
record type: Household
registration district: Nantwich
sub-district: 2 Nantwich
ecclesiastical parish:
civil parish: Worleston
county: Cheshire

I wonder if the Joseph b. 1810 married and then went to Australia 1861-1864 after Mary died?

Only this death and that is probably one born 1861.

Deaths Jun 1862
Moulton Mary Jane Nantwich 8a 215

Thanks Geoff.

It seems the convict was born abt 1797 and the one I'm after abt 1811. Rather odd though they both appear to have been born in Nantwich and both ended up in Bathurst, NSW.

I think it likely my Joseph had married in England but the problem is there is no death that I can find for Mary in England or NSW before the his 2nd marriage. I think it has to be them in 1861 census. No other Joseph to fit.

There are 2 in NSW but only the one marriage. Two deaths:

V1852829 38B/1852 MOULTON JOSEPH AGE 56
4167/1879 MOULTON JOSEPH AGE 68 YEARS DIED BATHURST BATHURST

No luck with shipping records.

Just checked the original of that Ticket of Leave, it mentions the cancellation as in your earlier post, but hand written it says he died 13 March 1852..

V1852829 38B/1852 MOULTON JOSEPH AGE 56 [this fits]

So it looks like he is the one b. 1797

Thanks Geoff.

Yes, and I'll look that burial up at the library next week. It won't add much except the location and perhaps a profession. If we are very lucky it will name the vessel.

Hello,

Joseph Moulton
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening 10 Feb 1810 Nantwich, Cheshire
parent James Moulton, Ann


Dave
There are a few trees with Joseph b. 1810/11, m. 1831, Bld. Virgin Mary Acton CHS and d. 1868 Worleston.
His will says he was a grocer, it mentions his late wife Mary of Worleston.

I can't find anything to suggest this Joseph went to NSW :confused:
