Family Alice BAKER, b. Dec Q 1846, Lower Halstow, Kent, England 
, d. Jun Q 1928, Milton Reg Dist, Kent, England (Age ~ 82 years)
Other Partners: Thomas KEMP m. 9 Oct 1870Banns of marriage From 16 Aug 1868 to 30 Aug 1868 St. Margaret of Antioch’s Church, Lower Halstow, Kent, England - Although no marriage followed, the Banns were read all 3 times.
Married? Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry Notes - In August 1868 the banns of marriage were read for the marriage of Alice Baker of Halstow, spinster, almost certainly this Alice Baker, to one John Moore, bacheloar, also of Halstow. No marriage followed.
Alice's daughter Clara may have been his daughter. Assuming Clara was not premature, then Alice must have been about 6 months pregnant when the banns were first read, if the date on her birth certificate is accurate. It would seem the pregnancy was probably obvious, and may well have been the reason John and Alice got engaged. If they were only getting married because of the pregnancy without a desire to do so, that maybe the reason (the underlying one, at least) why the marriage did not happen. Of course it is also possible that John learnt of another man in Alice's life, that the child might not be his, and that is why the marriage did not take place.
Unfortunately there was no John Moore in Lower Halstow in the 1861 or 1871 census, but quite a few in the slightly wider area that he could well have been from, and of a suitable age. (I have not investigated thoroughly to try to work out which John Moore Alice nearly married, and do not plan to).
