badger,

we have to remember that not all the marriages are on line, some have not been catalogued as yet..1837 might be them, I have no way of really telling ordering one of the kids birth cert.. perhaps one that has the charnock maiden name might reveal more.

1837 Jul 2 Thomas x Moorfield, full age, Winstanley tp, Collier, ba, (s of Richard Moorfield, Collier) & Margaret Charnock, minor, tp, sp [condition blank on pre 1837 PR, Occupation, residence and father's details all left out of post 1837 PR], Banns (11, 18, 25 Jun by J. Bromilow Minister) by J. Bromilow Minister, Wit; Thomas Singleton, John Lea, No. 524, No. 1

badger,

have you considered posting a request here:(listed under WigamWorld  on the Lancshire page here at Looking4kin)

http://www.wiganworld.co.uk/stuff/requests.php?opt=requests

you must register, but it is free.. I suggest you consider doing so.. I found a lot of Moorfield records in the Cemetery page, none I can connect to  Margaret, the same with Charnock.. but I am sure someone here in Wigam would answer you.

would also post on this General board:

badger,

I may have narrowed down Thomas Moofield death, (lordy that name was common) but here goes:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

this Thomas died in 1852, now Margaret may well have been expecting the last child when he died..you can contact the submitter, actually there are 2 of them as I think they both did the same one..

Moorfield

Thomas

Wigan

8c

47

 1852 Deaths....there are earlier and later ones of course, but looking at the birth year of the last child and the 1861 census this is a good possible

there is also an 1841 mariage for a Thomas Moofield..., tho I think the 1837 one fits..I can't see a Margaret Charnock marring in 1841
