William Moss, Loughborough

[pricewynne]

Hallo

My grandad was Ralph Davis. He worked for Mosses as a site agent but was also a family friend of the Mosses. Nik Moss was godfather to my uncle. I wonder if it is the same Nik Moss. He had one son and two stepdaughters, Naomi and Bryony (with whom my mum played as a child). We have a photo of Nik on site with my grandad. My grandad trained Nik when he left the army after the war. My mum was very excited to see your post but couldn't reply.

We would be very interested in any information about Wiliam Mosses. My grandad worked for them for 50 years until he retired in the '60s.

It would be lovely to hear from you.

Hello. I am trying to trace Moss relations. Charles Moss a descendant of William Moss of William Moss & Sons builders, born Loughborough c1869, married my relation Mabel Agnes Black in 1903 at Barrow on Soar. They had one child Frank Henry Moss born 1904 in Loughborough.

I am wondering if you have heard of Frank, and if so, did he marry and have a family?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Willmoss

Rather a late response to your posting, I'm afraid, but I would be very interested in more info on the history of the Moss company/ies in the Loughborough area.  This is my first post on the site, so I'm not sure if I am eligible to contact you privately.  Please let me know, on this site, how you would like to handle my request.  Perhaps others would also be interested in the info you have, and so posting a summary of it would be appropriate here.  Over to you to decide!

Best wishes
John

Hello

 I have just chanced on this site by accident as my name came up. I am William George Moss (b.1957) son of Nicholas Charles Moss (b. 1912, d. 1999). My father was the last chairman of William Moss & Sons before it was bought out by Frech Kier in the late 1980's. Dad worked for Wm.Moss for 51 years and started work digging trenches for bricklayers even though his Uncles (Charles and  Alan Moss) were joint Chariman. Dad once told me that I was the great-great-great-great-grandson of the original founder -I have never checked this out so can't vouch for it. I have other info on william Moss & Sons Mosses if anyone is interested

Hello Sharpey
I have looked for all deaths of either Frank H or Frank Henry Moss, for someone born in 1904.  The only one I can find that fits is:

Frank Henry Moss   b. 1904   d. 1982   Stevenage   Herts

That doesn't tell you anything about his marriage, of course, but perhaps searching phone books, trade/street directories or possibly finding an obit. in a local paper might help.  Sometimes local papers have a "Looking Back" section, and posting a question in the local rag: "Does anyone remember Frank Henry Moss?" is another possibility.

Hope that helps
John

Hi John

Thanks for the info. I too am interested in the Moss family regarding their building companies. I believe the have built some of my family homes in Sileby and have a strong connection to the Black building company of Barrow on Soar which then went on to be Black & Drivers.

I am happy to be contacted by email should you want to share information. How do we go about this?

Sorry to have been so late in responding but I can confirm that the Nick Moss who was my Father also has two stepdaughters (as you correctly say Naomi and Bryony - last name Cooper) as well as one son, me. Nao and Bry are now 65 and 70 but if you can tell me your Mother's name I will pass it onto them to see if they remember.

I have to say that I find this site rather difficult to use so why don't you reply to my email address - will-moss@hotmail.co.uk

Jill,
Just came across your inquiry about Florence Moss.
Unfortunately I do not have the answer to the particular problem of her missing but I would be interested in any information you might have about her. I am directly descended from the Loughborough Moss family and do have a lot of information on them I would like to see if this mystery can be solved.

Regards
Terry Moss

Hello all, I hope you don't mind me being on here? I used to work at William Moss Ltd then Moss Construction Ltd when they changed name, up and till they were bought out by French Kier, and we were made redundant. I used to work in the plant department from 1970 through to being made redundant in Dec' 1985. I have in my possession a book of the works the company carried out in the early days, still in its box, read about 5 - 6 times i guess!!!! If any one is interested in it please let me know please. regards Peter.
