Hull and West Ham, MOOR Ernest died 1917
« on: Tuesday 07 September 10 15:09 BST (UK) »
Hi,

My grandmother's second husband Amelia Louisa Greenham (nee Dowling) mrd.married  ERNEST MOOR  from Hull (bn. 1891)  17 Jan 1917 West Ham,  fourth engineer  on SS POWHATTON  and was sunk off Nth. Hebrides  6 April 1917. torpedoed  by U66 and did not survive.

There was a Wiliam Henry Moor (brother?) at the marriage and I am interested if there are surviving family of the MOORS form the HULL area who might have connections with the above as there may be early pictures or information from this sad occasion as the marriage only lasted 3 months.

Would there be any  WEST HAM newspaper articles  covering this article as my mother was 10 years old a the time.

Regards
