Hello Pattrick, Just discovered your web site on
the Mould families. I am a Mould descendant. I thought you might be
interested in adding this to your web site.
My father John Mould came to Canada
in 1921 from Winchester, England with is parents James and Nellie
Mould and brothers and sisters: Charles, Elsie, Arthur, Frank, Ernest,
Robert, Bernard (Slim), Mary (Queenie) to homestead in northern British
Columbia. Last summer we held our second family reunion at the site of my
grandparent's original "homestead" in Rose Lake, BC.
There were 221 of us there, only about 1/2 the descendants of the above.
I know this about my great-grandparents:
Henry Mould born Easton,
Hampshire England, 1842
Fanny Mould (nee Marsh), born
Kingsworthy, Hampshire, England 1847
They were married in 1870 and
lived in Winchester
They had 7 children: James,
Rose, Lillian, Mable, Daisy, Minny, Tom and Albert.
My grandfather James Mould was
born in 1871 in Winchester.
He married Nellie Marsh approx.
1895-96. (Nellie Marsh had 2 brothers Charlie and Jack)
He served about 20 years in the
British army, saw service in India, was in the Boar War and WWI (1914-1918)
He came to Canada (as indicated
above) in April, 1921 with his family on the S.S. Saxonia. When they
arrived in Canada they traveled across the country in
a CNR colonist train to the untamed wilderness of Northern British Columbia.
Nellie Mould died in 1928 at the age of 53, Jim died
in 1941.
Lillian Mould (married to ?)
moved to the US in 1912
Rose Mould (married Thomas
Foster) also moved to the US
Daisy lived in Southampton,
Mable in Wincheser and Tom at Easton Village
All of my father's generation have also passed
away. However, we have a strong family connection and representatives
from each of the 9 children were at our recent family reunion.
I would be interested in searching back further in
my genealogy, to see the connections with other Moulds on your website.
I hope this is of interest to you.
