If you have anybody in the States I would be only too happy to see what I could find. Especially NY and the New England area.

There were 5 births of "Jessie MOSS" registered in Warwickshire in the 1891-1901: 1892 Dec Q - Birmingham 6d 29 [Jessie Emily] 1895 Jun Q - Warwick 6d 627 [Jessie Florence] 1897 Mar Q - Birmingham 6d 170 ) 1898 Jun Q - Birmingham 6d 98 ) [all as Jessie] 1899 Dec Q - Aston -6d 461 ) Only Jessie Florence would fit a birthplace in Leamington - she would seem to be the right one, but the certificate would be needed to confirm her parents. I don't believe that the HANNON Grand-daughter is likely to be her, as her grandparents would seem to be MOSS or LAWRENCE. Furthermore, her age is understated, and her birthplace incorrect - although those frequently occur in Censuses. However... The 1901 lists 3 Jessie MOSSes born 1891-1901 residing in WAR: The 4-year-old grand-daughter - born Birmingham A 2-year-old, with parents John & Charlotte - born Birmingham A 1-year-old, with parents Andrew & Mary Jane - born Sutton Coldfield [which was in Aston District] These seem to match far better the 3 youngest of the births listed above. Furthermore, the 1901 also lists - as an "Inmate" of a Home run by the NSPCC in Essex - a 5-year-old Jessie MOSS of "unknown" birthplace. [She was one of 19 girls aged 5-14, and 10 boys 5-10]. RG13/1724/21/19 - Church Street, Great Coggeshall. This would seem to fit not-too-badly with the reported sighting of her "in London" by her brother Stanley, but of course can't be certain unless the NSPCC still hold her details and is willing to release them to a relative.
