Hi Heather Thanks to Ancestry.com.au and the 1851 England Census I have found an Ann Moss, age 23, estimated birth 1828, daughter of Thomas Moss. She was born in Coggs, in the registration district of Witney, Oxfordshire. She is living in Coggs with her father, 40, who is a widower and works as a labourer, and her sister Mary, 19, who works as a glover. In the 1861 England Census and thanks to "these records may be relevant" there is an Ann Brooke,30, estimated birth 1831, born in Cogges, married to John Brooke, 30, born in Finstock, Oxfordshire, and working as a boat builder. They have four children: John 7, James 3, Emily 2, and 4 month old Charles. All the children were born in Cogges where the family is living. I hope this is your Ann Moss but her father Thomas is still alive in the 1851 Census so maybe it's not your Ann after all. Optimistically, Bev in Windy Wellington, NZ -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jill Muir Sent: Wednesday, 19 September 2012 7:15 a.m. To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com; oxfordshire-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] Ann MOSS Hi Heather, I don't know if this is her: There is an Ann MOSS who married Eli DAVIS at Northleach 11 541 Ancestry Trees show her marriage as at Compton Abdale, Gloucestershire on 2nd Nov 1850 I'll look again tomorrow, but I believe I have her on 1911 census living in Birmingham.

Good evening Heather. I have the Coggs Parish Registers and see that on 9.9.1827 Ann Moss was baptised there, dau. of Thomas & Charlotte of High Coggs,lab. And on 26.2.1832 Mary Moss was bapt. there also dau. of Thomas & Charlotte. Two other Moss families in Coggs had children baptised there until 1836. I cannot find her marriage either : she was not married in Coggs,Witney or Charlbury and no Banns were called at Coggs or Charlbury (for Finstock). A John Brooks was baptised 25.7.1827 at Charlbury, son of Charles Brooks, a musician, and Hannah, of Finstock. His was the closest to his estimated birth in 1830. The New Zealanders were extremely kind to all the crew of HMS Theseus when we visited in 1947, so if I can be of any help please ask.
