Hi Les,
On reading your reply to me the penny dropped,
as your brother Malcolm is in touch with me and explained his (and your) links with Kitty and Moss. My husband is Arthur Spencer whose mother was Grace Crawford the daughter of Harry Crawford who married Sarah Levine daughter of
Jane Fairey who married Louis (Lewis) Levin, Moss's last boy child. So a 2nd cousin to you and Malcolm. I have several letters concerning Moss which were sent to me via another family member regarding Moss's behaviour while in the Richmond workhouse and also the activities of his wife Ann's the mother of Kate.
Do you think that Moss was the son of Gotschalk Levien who originated from Hannover and went to Jamaica made his fortune and eventually settled and died in Minories, London? That is a line I was given by one of the many gennies who you come across while doing this researching.
Les I would love the address of the shop as Arthur and I will visit it next week. We live in Shepperton so just half hour train ride away. If you want copies of letters I have re the workhouse let me know and I will send them to you.
Thanks for the info, and I hope you enjoy genealogy as much as I have.
Take care.
Tessa
Arthur and I went to see the workhouse site and the gate posts are still there and I suppose Moss was buried in the cemetery at the rear of the workhouse site which is now a very posh gated housing complex.
