Jacob
Mould c.1800 London
I have been in touch before asking
for information. I am not a Mould, but I am the biographer of
Jacob Wrey Mould, an English architect who was a well known architect.
May I contribute what little
information I have about his family? It may help someone else find
family and perhaps help locate more about this Mould family.
Jacob Mould
b? London
occupation merchant
spent several years in Ghana as one of the Royal Company of Traders to Africa
(ugh) 179?-1807?
married Mary Ann Oakley
of London m. date unkn
son Jacob Wrey Mould
b. 1825 London (parish St. Giles in the Fields)
d. 1841 Cork, Ireland where
the family had lived for some period of time
Jacob Wrey Mould (architect) m.
Emily Ann(ie?) Davis (Davies?)m. date unkn.
daughter Alice b. 1852?
1853? possibly earlier
went to New York 1853
d. 1886 New York
Alice Mould m. Thomas Hood Robson
1881
then living in Tredigar Square,
London
emigrated to Canada date?
d 1896 Vancouver, B.C. Canada
age then given on death certificate as ca. 42
I cannot trace the relationship but
a descendent , Alice Knight-Murray, second marriage surname Murray?,
lived in the Sechel, B.C. area until 1996 when it is presumed she died. Alice
Murray was a local artist who knew of her ancestors Jacob and J. Wrey
Mould. Mrs. Knight-Murray was interviewed in 1988 by a local paper
and also spoke with a Jacob Wrey Mould scholar (architectural historian)
in that same period. Mrs. Knight Murray was probably a gggrandaughter of
J. Wrey Mould.
I hope this sketch is useable.
Sincerely,
