Classification: Query
Surnames: Benaim, Bibas, Moses
No, only that her name was Mesoda (=Massouda) and she died in 1920. However,according to Abecassis, in 1860 Rabbi R H Moses emigrated to Tiberias and became a Dayan there, and only returned to Morocco in 1880, so he probably married in Israel. The Benaim family were closely intermarried with another rabbinical family from Tetuan, the Bibas family, so there may be a clue there (his sons David and Shalom married sisters Esther and Mesoda Bibas, who I believe were also their first cousins).
I attach a photocopy I have with his photo and some biography, which says the family emigrated to Haifa when he was 6 months old.
