Hi CR

You might want to explore a tree (@ ancestry) named "MASON tree" which gives information for "George Edward MASON" who died at Auckland on 14 November 1918.    His wife was Lily (nee HAWKINS).

I found the death earlier ...searching on MASON /MOSS-MASON ... and happily (or not), there is "tree".  ;D
I can't vouch for it's accuracy ... it does give Edward MOSS and Helene HONNOR as parents of George ... probably worth making contact with tree owner to see what additional info is available.

... Hi John ... our posts crossed.   ;D

See info for George Edward MASON -- his birthyear at death, is an exact match for the son born to Edward and Helen MOSS.

Hello Cr,

In reply #7 the first Moss-Mason death is that of Beverley.

I have this death notice which may or may not be helpful. She was the wife of the late Ray, (this being Raymond Neville?)

Would you like me to PM the notice?

Added:I also have the death notice for the second name in that reply, that of Cynthia Beatrice Ward (On NZ BDM the death comes up under Moss-Mason). If you wish, I can send that one by PM also.

Seems to me that there is a cross contamination on the Ancestry family trees. I'm still at a loss to know where the surname Mason comes in for any of them when they were recorded as Moss at birth?
It looks like my information for the deaths of George E and Henry T are wrong as these were from the Mason family. There is an Ancestry tree that gives death notices for them but as Mason and the owner has copied it from another tree.
The more we look into this, the more confusing it becomes!
Minnie currently I don't want any Moss-Mason notices unless we can prove it's the same family.

Another contact whom I asked about the Mason name said today:
Father EDWARD  Moss was an Actor and supposedly left Melbourne because he did not ‘get on’ with his Father Henry Thomas.  Mind you, he died a Coach Painter and that is a trade he would have learned from his father – he also died a MOSS.
 He  supposedly performed under the name of Ted Mason (I haven’t found the evidence).    Ronald Grant then assumed the name MOSS MASON; his brother Henry Thomas (Harry)  was MASON; his brother George Edward was MASON.  In the next generation, one of the brothers dropped the Mason and became a Moss again. 

This also seems odd to me as I understood that Edward Moss was born in 1853 at  Sacramento, California, and presumably travelled to NZ for the gold rush in North Island, however his eldest daughter was born in Wairau, Marlborough in 1881 so he must have moved after his marriage to Helen Honnor in 1880-don't know where they married? As I've little or no knowledge of NZ geography I'm at a loss here. The rest of the children were born in Blenheim.
