James Thomas Henry Moxham wed Agnes Eliza Ann HALL in 1911, lists his parents as Henry MOXHAM and Mary Ann MOXHAM (KIRKNESS) from a Rootsweb item by Steve and Lynda Lepedat dated 24 Jul 2000
In 1916 James Moxham moved to Wonthaggi where he worked in a coal mine. His wife and 6 children were with him until 1918, at age 37 he died. The same year his 7th child Agnes was born On Mary Ann MOXHAMs Death Certificate in 1903, it says she was married 20 years and that her spouse was Henry MOXHAM. I have searched everywhere I think possible but as yet have been unable to find any marriage details. I visited Melbourne Cemetery yesterday where she was buried as Mary Ann MOXHAM (with 3 other Kirkness' - her parents and uncle).

A second appeal
My ggrandparents were James Thomas Henry MOXHAM and Agnes Eliza Ann HALL. James was born about 1881 in Collingwood, Victoria. Their children were Joseph Thomas, Elsie May, John George, Agnes Mary and Harry Ernest.
James' parents were Henry MOXHAM and Mary Ann KIRKNESS. I have not been able to find any further information on Henry MOXHAM other than his children were James Thomas Henry, Ethel Letitia, George Arthur, Harry, Bertha Elsie, John, Lilian Alice, Agnes Hilda, William Butler and Charles I am mainly seeking information on Henry as I have been unable to find his birth or death, and unfortunately there is no marriage registered for Henry and Mary Ann.


7. Lilian Alice Moxham wed Henery Anderson on Jan 12th 1916. there were no issue between then and 1920 .my elder sister was born in 1921. but Henery Anderson was not our father. Our father was Edward Albert Gardiner. I am at a loss to know what happened between that time. I have a portrate of my elder sister at 7 y and me at 9 months that mother sent to henery moxham that was sent back unopened. I think that there may be information at the synagogue in South Melbourne. I remember my mother taking me there when I was 11 or 12 and telling me it was the church she went to as a child.
