Goldworkers List (section VII).
He was christened at St Andrew Holborn in 1784, the son of Robert Mosley I (Grimwade p.377) and his wife Jane.
He married Rebecca Wrathall at St Dunstan in the West in 1804. He was from that parish and she was from St Giles, Cripplegate. The marriage record shows Charles was a minor requiring the permission of his father Robert to marry.
Christening records for their children at St Andrew, Holborn show the following:
In 1806 for a son Charles his parents’ address was Brownlow Street.
For two children in 1807 and 1809 their parents’ address was Dean Street.
In 1811 for another child her parents were at Castle Street, an address associated with Richard Mosley (Grimwade p.377).
In 1813 and 1815 for three more children their father was shown as a jeweller from 113 Fetter Lane which was Charles’ father’s business address.
In 1817 for another child his father was shown as a jeweller again from Castle Street.
The burial of Rebecca Mosley in 1822 aged 42 years was recorded at St Luke, Finsbury. Her last address is recorded as St Dunstan in the West.
He entered a maker’s mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1823 as a goldworker from 113 Fetter Lane.
Grimwade’s speculation (p.602) that Charles was related to the other goldworkers named Mosley is shown to be correct.
He married Anna Maria Deane at St Alphege, Greenwich in 1824. She was a spinster of that parish. He was from St Dunstan in the West parish.
The 1841 UK Census record shows him as a gold beater aged 57 years at Windmill Street with his wife and two children one of whom Edwin (born 1817) was also a gold beater.
In 1851 he was recorded in the same trade again at Castle Street.
In 1861 he was recorded at 10 Park Terrace, Greenwich as a retired jeweller.
The England & Wales Deaths Index for the Greenwich register shows he died in 1863
