    1. [IoW] Missing MOSS
    2. T Woodford
    3. I have a news cuttiing reporting my uncle Harold (Robert) MOSS' wedding to Margaret Florey of Sudbury at St. Joseph's Church, Wembley Hill on 11 Nov.1916. (He was born in S. Africa on 15 July 1894) The report stated that he was from "Heilbron", Cowes and his brother Albert Stanley MOSS R.E. was his best man. This is all I know of Harold to date. Any ideas? Was "Heilbron" perhaps a farm? The Newport Roman Catholic church recorded the marriage of my youngest uncle Albert Stanley MOSS to Constance Gertrude WEBB on 18 Aug.1919. This the last record I have of him. Albert was also born in S.Africa on 15 March 1897. My aunt, Annabel May MOSS ( b. 25 June 1891 at Freshwater, IOW) also married in the Newport R.C. church on 5th September 1910 to Percy Winser Joseph Etherington of Portmsouth, son of Thomas Etherington. My grandfather, Sgt. Maj. Moss was killed at Kimberley during the Anglo-Boer War (Dec.1899) The family returned home and in 1906 grandmother Bridget MOSS (nee Brennan) was at The Avenue, Totland. In 1911 she was living at "Penrhyn", The Avenue, Totland Bay. She died at age 67 on 25 Oct. 1924 at Belmont, Cowes. I might add that my mother, Florence Annie MOSS returned to S. Africa to marry my father Harry Harcourt who had come here at age 17 in 1902. Harry was born 19 August 1884. Bapt. 7 Dec. 1884 Parish of Totland. All these island connections and I seem to have hit the wall. Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated. Terence in S. Africa
