Joshua Moss

Life saving on the Serpentine 1883

By Michael Moss

I'm researching family history and am aware that Joshua Moss, a Great Yarmouth lifeboatman was involved with the life saving event on the Hyde Park Serpentine ( 14/07/1883 ) - he apparently received a gold watch from the future King Edward VII for his contribution. I am searching for a photograph of Joshua, as an individual or with his lifeboat crew.

A Joshua Moss was my great grandfather who was born in 1849 in Great Yarmouth. He married Rachel Munro in 1869 and died in Great Yarmouth in 1896. They had 9 children the youngest of whom was Ernest Moss my grandfather.

I have no record of him saving someone's life on the serpentine but believed he saved a life in Great Yarmouth.

Unfortunately I do not have a photo of either of them but do have photos of my grandfather who I knew as he died when I was 16. My grandmother live on until she was 103.

Hope this is useful.
