Hi Trevor I did some Google searches (as I'm sure you have) when you first posted this query but I think I neglected to let you know. I couldn't find anything listed under 'Mopley Hall Cheshire' other than the book you refer to. I agree with a couple of others who have suggested that it is probably a misspelling of Mossley or Morley, even though I know the book is printed and you would be forgiven for trusting that.
