Moore family ref joan-price
published by - 7 years 6 months 30 days ago. | | | Joseph Moore, a mason, married Harriet Main 25/12/1861 at Weston-super-Mare Christchurch. Joseph was born in Weston ca 1834 (census record only).
Harriet was the daughter of John Main, another mason, and his wife Jane, christened 14/11/1841. In the 1861 census they lived in 'Main square'. Both Jane and Harriet are laundresses.
In 1871 James and Harriet were living in Clifton, Bristol. There do not appear to have been any children. James died in 1881 2nd qtr in Barton Regis Reg'n District (= Clifton). Harriet re-married my ancestor, James Rothwell Hosey 1892 3rd qtr in Barton Regis - a civil ceremony. She continued to be a laundress.
James was a mason working in the Richmond quarries at the top of Whiteladies Road, Bristol. His first wife (i.e. also my ancestor) had died in 1890. By 1901 James and Harriet were living in Lansdowne Road, Bristol. James had become a verger at St Stephen's there.
James died 22/5/1915 and Harriet died 8/10/1928, both recorded as Bristol, which by then had taken in Barton Regis. | |

Good Samaritan Relief at the Old Hospital PHOTO C1984
published by - 7 years 7 months 2 days ago. | | Thank you Pat, Your response is very helpful. If the relief was damaged beyond repair and could not be re-sited - then this is useful information as well.
I am hoping someone interested in architecture may have photographed the hospital building and with luck- the relief.
I have a photo of the relief taken on a visit to the U.K. in 1984. Unfortunately at this time, I did not photograph the building or where it was situated. The relief was very worn even then and it is difficult to distinguish the details in it. A better photo (if one exists) or early drawing or newspaper lithograph would be wonderful.
