Biography

Winifred Lorraine Mosley was born on September 20, 1911, and her birth was registered at Chorlton in the October quarter of that year. She was a daughter of Edmund George Loraine Mosley and Annie Twiss Mosley.

We are unable to identify or any of her family members in the 1921 census data, but by the time of the 1939 Register for England and Wales (at the start of World War II) Winifred is living with her parents at 12 Berkeley Avenue, Manchester, Lancashire, and she lists her occupation as a "Clerk", working for the National and Local Government Officers' Association (NALGO).

There is no sign that Winifred ever married or had children.

There is every reason to believe that Winifred continued to live with her parents, and then with her mother Annie, until her mother's death in 1974. Indeed, she may have remained at 12 Berkeley Street. Manchester, for up to 20 years after that.

Winifred passed away on September 9, 1995, at a nursing home called Helland House, at 121 Taylor Street, Gorton, Manchester. Her death was registered at Manchester, Lancashire, in the July quarter of that year.

Research notes

We note that a Winifred Mosley was married to a Robert F. Pennington and that this marriage was registered at Manchester in the April quarter of 1940. However, we do not believe that this Winifred Mosley was the same individual as the current Winifred Lorraine Mosley.
