Sorry Karen... I have no other information other than James Thomas Moss ( b. Wigan c 1869) was the son of James Moss ( b. Wigan c1819) and Ellen (nee? / b. Ireland c1827). You can find the family living at 3 Vauxhall Rd., Wigan in both the 1861 and 1871 census records. The 1861 record is RG9 / 2772. The 1871 record is RG10 / 3885.
