Edward MOBERLY was born in 1759 at Knutsford, Cheshire, the son of Richard and Jane (ADAMS). He was a merchant in St Petersburg, Russia where he married Sarah CAYLEY (the daughter of the Consul-General). When war endangered St Petersburg, the family returned to live in Ham, England, but in 1814 things seemed safer, so Edward and Sarah and their daughters returned to Russia, leaving the boys at school in England.
