Also a grocer in Lower Slaughter,Gloucestershire. This is recorded in the Public Record Office (census records) off the internet. \ Henry Thomas Mosson was an illegitimate child of Emily Mosson. He was raised by his Mosson grandparents. Emily went to London and was later married to a Mr Smith and had a daughter. Grannie Smith spent her last days at Grandpa Mossons home. \ Written by Granny (Annie) Mansell \ \ As told to Alan Mansell by Grannie (Annie) Mansell--- When Grannie Smith (Emily Mosson) lost her sight and was quite old she returned to live with her son Henry Thomas and wife Annie (nee Johnson) My Grannie (Annie) said she and her sisters and brother used to blow out the candle has Grannie Smith would go upstairs to bed, and of course Grannie Smith being blind would not know about the candle, and the children would have a good laugh. \ \ Henry Thomas was raised by Emily Mosson's parents. \ Henry Thomas was a stone Mason as was most of the Mosson men. He, his wife and family lived in Lower Slaughter for a number of years. He built and help build many homes in Lower Slaughter. Henry and his family moved to Southstoke where the family operated a store from their house, which still bears the name "MOSSON" on the gate. \ Written by Mildred _____________ \ \ John Mosson who is in the "Family Tree" 1828 - 1909 was Henry Thomas Mosson's Uncle. He was the first owner of the house in Lower Slaughter where Kenneth Mosson now lives. \ \ By Alan Mansell---He was most likely Emily Mossons brother. Who is father was I'm not sure as Emily had one illegitimate child called Emily, did she have two \ \ This note I believe is written by Aunti Ella Munroe (nee Mansell)--- \ They were married in England June 16 1875 and lived in Lower Slaughter and Stoke. # different houses and 2 were in Stoke and all still there in 1978 when Mom, Gladys and I went to England. Grandpa Mosson (Henry Thomas) had bake shops in both places and was also a brick layer or stone mason. \ At one time a political problem came up, for it seems Grandpa (Henry Thomas) was a staunch liberal and they were renting from a man whose son was running for political office as a conservative. The house owner approached Grandpa and said are yoyou going to vote for my son? Granpa said "I've been a Liberal all my life and I will remain a Liberal. Grandpa was then given notice to move out of house and shop but the Liberal party soon built a larger shop and home for them. The one they had to move out of was 300 years old in 1978 and we were invited into both houses when we were there. \ Henry Thomas and Annie came to Canada about 1904. Their son Bert and daughter Emily came first, but soon followed by Annie and Henry Thomas with daughter Annie (Grannie). Jeanette (Nett) and Dora followed. I'm not sure if this is the right order and Edith was in China as a missionary helper at the time. \ They settled in Alexander Man. and Henry Thomas built a house there. Annie (Grannie) was married in that house and I, (Aunt Ella) was born in that house. They later moved to Deepdale Man. Uncle Jack Morris & Aunti Em and Uncle Bert farmed there. Also Uncle Bob Wragg and Aunti Nett had a farm in that area, also Dad(William Mansell) and Mother Annie Mansell (nee Mosson) farmed around there. Uncle Will and Aunti Ada came to Canada later. \ William Johnstone Mosson 1876\\1953 and Ada Rose came later \ \ Gladys copy from Mildred---- There is a Mr. Francis Mosson who lives at Ryclose, Burton -on-the-Water his grandfather and Henry Thomas were cousins (Alfred) \ \ Jon Bakers web site shows that Henry was a grocer and mason in census of 1891 \ It also shows that daughter Edith was South Stoke post mistriss and son William was a postman. Dora Mosson 17 at time was a postal clerk and Jeannette was a postal assistant age 19
