General Notes:

The parish records confirm that William b1826 is the son of Edward and Frances but other than a scarcity of other options and the various connections to Frances in 1841 the evidence is scant for the other children being his. We know Edward was a widower in 1825 and we know the Edward who married in 1791 was a widower . If the Edward who died in 1838 is Frances' husband then 1782 would be a good year for his first marriage. For now I'll leave the wives and children with him and see what turns up.
The Somerset Heritage Service searched the Berrow register between 1782 and 1826 and found only William 1826 and Thomas 1783 to an Edward Moor(e). He searched the East Brent register from 1791 to 1812 but found no Moore entries. He found no reference to an Edward Moore in the settlement index.
