Henry William Moon died WW1

[LindaByam]

Trying to establish parents and death of Henry William Moon (sometimes referred to as William Henry Moon), who married Mary Kelly in January 1905 in London.  This Henry W Moon was perhaps son of Henry Wm Moon & Alice C Craggs Moon.  Henry Jr. supposedly died during WW1 (perhaps in Belgium) but this has not been shown in records. One candidate match died "Theater Home" about 1914 which I think means was injured but died home in England ?  Not sure if I have that right. 

After Henry Moon died in WW1 his widow Mary Kelly Moon and 2 children (Henry and Alice) went to Massachusetts USA where her brother had settled. So these details are from family recollections but not yet supported by appropriate documentation.  Any help so very much appreciated.

Well if you have the correct parents this appears to be his birth record

MOON, HARRY  WILLIAM     CRAGGS     
GRO Reference: 1885  D Quarter in HOLBORN  Volume 01B  Page 722

Notice that he is called Harry.

He has a brother

There may be others but haven't checked for any more.

Alice is a widow in the 1901 census.

This may be her husband's death record:-

Is it possible Henry William is the son of Henry & Emily Hester??

Having followed Henry William Moon son of Henry (occ Chemicl Merchant) & Emily Hester through census I now realise this is not your Henry William
Henry Moon husband of Emily Hester was still living at the time of henry William's marriage to mary jane Kelly

Apologies

Well if what Suzard found is correct here are two births

MOON, HENRY  WILLIAM     STOPHER

MOON, REGINALD  JAMES     STOPHER

No the Stopher line is the incorrect one I had previously (made that error years ago). New docs found (including some census entries under "Moore" incorrectly transcribed) suggest this Craggs line more likely.  Just hoping someone may know more personally if right/wrong, before I adopt them !
