Plot 537 Alice Moore (née King) (1864-1936)
Alice was born in 1864 in Edgware, Middlesex, to Richard and Elizabeth King. Her father was a hay binder. Although this might seem to be an occupation only required for a limited time during the year, hay binders were probably involved in loading and delivering hay – in London with its thousands of work horses, this would be a very necessary, if not well-paid, occupation.
In 1871 the family lived in Church Lane, Edgware. Alice had an older sister and three brothers, one older than herself.
Alice probably went into domestic service. She married Reuben William Trantor Moore, a labourer born in Chartridge, Bucks, in Hendon 1885. Reuben was a widower with children Annie (1874), William George (always known as George) (1877), and Ellen (1880), by his first wife, Emma Gudgin who had died in Berkhamsted in 1881. (She is buried in this cemetery)
Arthur was born in 1887 followed by Harry (1888) and Alice (1890).
In 1891 Park Street they were living in Park Street where Ada was born (1892) then Charles (1894), Daisy Doris (1895) and Alfred R (1899).
The 1901 census records them at 8, Park Street. The family was completed with Mabel (1903) and Edith (1906).
By 1911 they had moved to 5, Station Road. Reuben was a bricklayer’s labourer. A lodger supplemented the family income.
Daisy Doris died in 1912, aged only 17, and is buried here.
In 1921 Reuben was a builder’s labourer working for H&J Matthews. Edith was at home as was 12 year old Arthur Lewis Price, “adopted son.” (b 1908 Berkhamsted). He had been listed as “visitor” in the 1911 census. (His birth parents were Henry W Price and Emily (née Wibden) from Hemel Hempstead. Arthur joined the Navy in 1924 and was killed at sea on HMS Grenade in 1940).
Alice died 11 January 1936 at 5, Station Road aged 73.
Reuben, who died in 1939, is buried in Plot 902.
