Hi Christine, I found a short thread on one of the Rootsweb lists. It gives Mosley Moss, West Heath, which could be it. West Heath is on the A534 out of Congleton towards Sandbach. It would have been in Astbury parish. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GENBRIT/2004-06/1087512790 Regards Lesley Baxendale Colwyn Bay On 29/07/2014 17:18, Christine Benson via wrote: > Hi All, > > I have on a census Mowsley Moss as a birth place.

Hi Lesley, Thanks for your reply, In reading the thread it doesn't make it clear if Mosley Moss is in West Heath, or just somewhere near. I now believe, having gone into it in more detail and finding the baptism of the individuals involved says they were from Congleton Moss, that the place referred to must be Mossley Moss though Mowsley is written quite clearly. Thanks again Christine
