Abram Moses 9
Joseph Moses 7

All born in County

Abraham was also listed at a School for Hebrew Boys in Bethnal Green

Note Ann Nichols also appears in the 1851 census as being Elizabeth's sister.

So perhaps they changed their surname from Moses to Moss

Hi Londonbelle

This looks to be very true and ties up with some known but previously unproven information about an Italian link and a confectionary shop
