Deborah Setchfield's Maiden Name

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 7:54AM GMT
Classification: Lookup
Surnames: Setchfield, Moore, Salman
Deborah Setchfield 1791-1850 often referred to as born Deborah Moore appears to be an assumption as two of her children have the middle name Moore. I have now found evidence from the British Newspaper archive (Stamford Mercury) that a Daniel Setchfield of St Ives married a Miss Salman of Peterborough on Tuesday. Findmypast has a transcription of Daniel Setchfield marriage to Deborah Salman 8th July 1806.
A further announcement in the Stamford Mercury details the death of an Anne Moore Setchfield aged 23 at the house of her uncle John Salman in Peterborough.
These 3 pieces of evidence have convinced me that Deborah Setchfield is nee Salman and that Moore is included in 2 of their children names for some other reason perhaps after Thomas Moore Singer, Songwriter, Poet, Journalist (1779–1852).
It has to be remembered this family was relatively wealthy.
