Census 1861
The Moore Family in the past 10 years moved from smoky London to the fresher air of the seaside. They now live at 22 Cavendish Place North, St Peter, Brighton, Sussex. Samuel is still working as a Coach Trimmer. He has remarried. We do not know what has happened to his first wife Hannah. He is 9 years older than his new bride. She is called Tayphena and works in the coach building trade as a ‘Coach Lining Worker’. She was born in Lindfield Sussex and this may have been the reason for the family moving down south. The two Girls Anne and Elizabeth are also missing from the 1861 census and we must presume have died. On a good note Samuel has two new children, George aged 8 and John aged 3. Both of them were born in Brighton so it is reasonable to suggest that Tayphena is their mother. Charles at the age of 14 has left school and is working as an ‘errand boy’.
