Best known as a Norfolk ornithologist, Moss Taylor’s autobiography, My Family Through Six Generations, pays scant attention to this aspect of his life. Rather, it focuses on his family history from the late Victorian and Edwardian period in Southampton to the early years of the 21st century. Both his grandfather and father were members of the Magic Circle, while an interest in photography has permeated through four generations. Educated at Chigwell School in Essex, Moss qualified in medicine at London’s Royal Free School of Medicine and eventually worked as a general practitioner at Sheringham, in north Norfolk. It was while working in Great Yarmouth that he met his future wife, Fran, who devoted her life to her husband and their three sons. Her tragic death from cancer forms the moving finale to the book.
