Of course, we are over looking the obvious. If you are a direct descendant of any of these families, your family tree is already done, so there would be no point in them reinventing the wheel.  Consequently, finding a contact that would have intimate knowledge or photos, might prove quite difficult.

If we (I mean you) can find any contacts I think it would be worth contacting them. It's photos I'm interested in. And yes, I'm sure they will find it odd that a load of strangers are so obsessed with their family. But they might be pleased with all the extra information found (which doesn't appear in The Peerage). And then there is the possibility of finding more photos. Did I already mention photos?  ;D

I agree totally.  It would be a shame to come this far and not actually contact living descendants if at all possible, especially with a view to positive identification and of course, more photos!  ;D

Yes please, to tea and cucumber sandwiches!  ;D

You might need to try a few descendants Caz. Maybe the young ones born in the 90s if you can't locate their parents. Most kids have an online profile these days. Good luck.  ;D

Ladies (and Gentlemen of course)  ;D  I was digging around yesterday and found some possible direct descendants of the Moons who are still living, with addresses  :D  If you are interested in contacting them Caz I can pm you the details.  I wasn't sure if you were ready to go to the "making contact" stage yet.

Hi Caz, I have sent you a pm with the details of 2 Moon descendants I have found so far, both are grandchildren of Arthur Moon.

If anyone else wants to have a search this website is very helpful.

Once you have the location you can search the internet for more clues.

I must say this does feel a bit like stalking though  :-\

Hi all Moon watchers, I've just found contact details of yet another grandchild of Arthur Heart Throb Moon, details have been sent to Caz by pm.   Here's hoping Caz gets a positive response if she makes contact.

Jool, well done. I think you have your priorities right searching for Arthur's descendants first.  ;D

Yes, it does seem a bit like stalking - I understand how you feel - but it is with good intentions and hopefully might be of interest to both them, and Caz and all of us who are following these threads.  :)

Ruskie, photos of Arthur are top of my list (and everyone else's I think) ;D.

I don't feel comfortable stalking, but having said that all the details are freely available on the internet through their businesses etc.  I just hope they aren't freaked out by a bunch of family historians taking so much interest in people who have nothing to do with them  :o
