In 1955 William was married to a Dorothy E Dezell in Plymouth, Devon.
I would like to contact any family to help with an ongoing search within
the Moss family, and in particular whether the above William`s mother
was named Jessie Marian Moss who died inPlymouth in 1980.
Thanks for an help.
I do appreciate a certificate search might be necessary, but am hoping
a family member might read this.
Thanks for any help.

Its unlikely a family member will just drop by :-D

Try looking in members trees to see if anyone is researching the family and try to contact them through the find out more more

The marriage cert though for the marriage would help you with its info on William .ie will give his age and father's name .if known

There doesn't seem to be any births for a moss with mmn Dezell but then again that marrige ref is the only one for her name so maybe she was married before or not born in the uk
