I am trying to find any information about Emily Moule born at Instow at about 1853,Her Father was Henry who later moved to Skewen in S.Wales.In the 1881 census Henry was a widower, but in 1851 I believe he was living in Framington ,his wife's name was Ellen(nee Goss) and he had a one month old son,who was born in Cadoxton (Nr Skewen,S.Wales) named Thomas.Ellen was born in Georgeham they were 28 and 20 years of age in 1851.They were living in Barnstaple. I would also appreciate any information about Henry.
Thanks

As promised I have been to Barnstaple records office and have found the following. There are several Moule families living around the area and I am sure if you had the time you could link them all together, however I have gone back as far as Emilys grandparents. This family also appears on Ancestrys one world tree, however all the information I have found I have researched using either Free BMD or local parish records. I have identified each resource. Geo=Georgham parish Records Frem= Fremington Parish Records BMD=free BMD unless otherwise identified will be Barnstaple and the first no. is the volume, followed by the page. (information is available from Sept 1837 and is well worth trying in the first instance to find more information )
All the male MOULES appear to have been farmers/labourers or butchers and sometimes all three, at sometime within their life.
Emilys grandparents on the MOULE side were
HENRY c.1790 buried 13/10/1844 Geo AGNESS nee SMITH c.1790 They married at Georgeham church 01/05/1815. On all documents they are identified as Henry and Agnes of Instow/Yelland, (Instow Parish church covers both villages...I know because I live in Yelland myself) unfortunately I have not been able to find any info on Instow records, I'm afraid I gave up with Fremington as its a year by year record, I searched 1785-1800 but couldn't find anything.
Their children were:
WILLIAM MOULE baptised 18/02/16 Geo married ANN HANCOCK on 12/06/1837 at Georgeham Parish Church children: WILLIAM HENRY baptised 01/10/37 Geo ANN baptised 13/01/41 Geo
AGNESS MOULE baptised 19/10/37 Geo she had an illegitimate child ELIZA baptised 15/01/1838 Geo, from census information she appears to have been bought up by Henry and Agnes AGNESS married JOHN TUCKER (Thatcher of Darracott) 30/04/38 Georgham Parish Church BMD Jun 1838 Barn 10 53
JOHN MOULE c.1821 (sorry I couldn't find baptism I think he may have been born in the Martinhoe area) married REBECCA GOSS baptised 02/05/1819 Geo (parents JOSEPH/ELIZABETH) marriage 28/12/50 Georgeham Parish Church BMD Dec 1850 10 53 Their children were AGNES baptised 16/11/1851 Geo JOHN baptised 31/10/1852 Geo THOMAS baptised 12/11/1854 Geo
ROBERT MOULE baptised 05/06/1824 Frem married ELIZABETH DUMMETT or HORWOOD BMD Barnstaple March 1850 10 35 children: AGNES HORWOOD baptised Oct 1850 Geo ELIZABETH (no info) HENRY (no info)
THOMAS baptised 13/01/1828 Geo buried 24/10/1829 aged 1 year 9 months Geo
Documents are then a little confused as there is a RICHARD SMITH Frem baptised the same day as HENRY (EMILYS father) and HENRY AGNESS are identified as his parents. I have no other information. I would have discounted this as an error but then there is
MARY SMITH MOULE baptised 23/07/1824 Geo she married GEORGE WEBBER (farmer) 21/10/48 Georgeham Parish Church children: GEORGE HENRY both were baptised 19/01/51 Geo
As you have identified Emilys parents were:
HENRY MOULE baptised 14/02/1822 Frem ELLEN GOSS (on various document also HELEN or HELLEN) baptised HELLEN GOSS 01/05/1832 (daughter of George & Ann) died BMD Sept 1865 Barn 5b 305

This is not an exhaustive search but I hope it helps you on your way. I have found details on most of these families within the census. If any of the information is incorrect I apologise, I do not intend to send you on a false trail.
Take care and happy hunting in extending your tree further .............mandy
