The first two definitely....Not sure number 3 is him..

Hi all, this is where I found the third photo in the sequence of Basil Oliver Moon (the one with waxed moustache).
I think they are all Basil

Well unless their is some doubt over the accuracy of the posting on Jool's link, then they all have to be Basil IMO.    In the third photo, he would be at least seven years older than pics 1 and 2, taken in 1907.

I would agree with Lady Emma Moon being a match, all of her features seem to match perfectly.

As for your eighth photo - you can call him whatever you like but I want him   

Totally agree!    Quite the movie star looks! 

I think number 8 is Arthur Moon, and I'm quite sure he has living descendants scattered about.  He married Marjorie Skinner and had three children, John, Penelope and Christine.

Obviously we know Basil was sadly killed in action and the daughter Edith, never married.

I saw him first Jool

Well, in actual fact, I saw him first, so form an orderly queue behind me please!

Yeah I agree No 8 is a bit of a looker. 

Stop fighting over him now ladies! Sadly, the man is now deceased. 
(this reminds me a bit of Phillipa Langley with her HUGE crush on a man who has been dead for over 500 years.)

I bought a large frame with an old photo some years ago, to put a family photo in. I didn't have the heart to throw out the photo I removed as one of the men it is was so gorgeous - so he still lies in my drawer.... 

I think we might need a bit of male input into these quests to keep us focused. 

Agree and acknowledge all of the above! 

[cazza59]

Aw yes! That's definitely him IMO!  Well done Trish   , I started looking last night in newspapers and all I could find was details of fish they had caught (Basil was quite the fisherman); Sir Ernest's obit; a description of Arthur's wedding and mention of them at various Hunt Ball's they had attended, not one with a photo!

What about the fourth one, any one else agree that is Edward Clifton Brown?

I agree that no. four is Edward Clifton Brown

Trish

[Jool]

Well done Trish, I think we have a match for Ernest Moon, especially when you see them side by side.

Caz, you also have my vote on Edward Clifton Brown.

Please don't tell me about Arthur's wedding, I can't bear to think of him marrying another woman 

[cazza59]

Thanks Trish and Jool.  We may not have found a blood link between them, but obviously there was a social link to the Moon and Brown families.  Yet again, I'm convinced that the person holding the camera was Dorothy Clifton Brown.

So that just leaves photo No. 1 and No. 5, (assuming that is Arthur and Edith Moon in Nos. 7 and 8.  It  would be great to be able to confirm this with another photo, but on the surface of things, it does seem likely it is them.)

How amazing is it that several mansions and now two families have been identified. Bl**dy marvellous!
