I did wonder about that census record.

Here it is, for helpers' reference.

Goodness knows what relationship a "second niece" is - sounds fairly distant.

A niece's daughter, perhaps??
Normally referred to as a grand-niece.

she has no parents living

If this is Ann/Antonia's father, he died just before she was born:

Will post my replies on here ArgyllGran and yes I also see a that a niece of Richard Mogridge had a daughter so she would be known as a second or grand-niece.

On Ann Jane Argo Moore marriage certificate her father had already died and I have a record from the ship ' Argo ' which read Mrs Moore a soldier's widow had baby girl on the 28th March 1858. So Mrs Moore was with child and her father Thomas Moore must have died or Killed in India some time between 1857/58.

safc, thank you very much for the information which I have found very useful and I would be very grateful if you can send me a copy of the marriage of Thomas Moore and Ann/Antonia.

As Ann Jane was still living with the Mogridges in 1871, I assume her mother died in (or soon after) childbirth.

yes it is possible ArgyllGran that Ann Jane's mother maybe have died soon after arriving in England. If she is great niece that would be very interesting to look into.
