Cheers, JM (I have probably got lots of other bits and pieces, but here’s 5 George MOSS chaps in Sydney NSW in 1870, and 5 in Melbourne VIC in 1870 ... probably they got their names listed err ... just to keep us all alert in the 21st C)
PS, Sherryl, I am not a MOSS relative (well I don't think I am, but so many of my families were in Sydney Town before the gold rushes, so I am a tad NSW Centric !)
Edit to fix the 1870 street address from NSW ER EAST SYDNEY (I have no idea where I thought "High" could be !)
