The parents of Capt. Edward VOSS (c) were John VOSS (m) & Susannah “Sarah” VOSS (d).

As I have already written, it is apparent from the above photograph that Bertie VOSS had a daughter Gladys Mary “Mollie” VOSS, borne ca. 1903. We now know that his wife was Edith née WENHAM.
It seems that Mollie went to Australia, for I have before me a letter written to her Aunt Mona upon news of the death of Mollie’s Grannie Elizabeth.
