Notes:
Paget Mosley (1838-ca. 1915) was a Captain in the 11th Hussars, a cavalry regiment once captained by Prince Albert (possibly during Mosley's service). He was born in Staffordshire, and hailed from a landed family that had established itself in Staffordshire and Lancashire some time before. Mosley appears to have become an engineer after his military service, as there are a few books and other articles about industrial and mining topics attributed to him. Mosley's passion for hunting, and the friendships that thrived on the hunting culture he prized, inspired his collection of hunting ballads.
