There is another Alice Moss, daughter of Thomas on the 1861 but they are in Manchester:
RG09 pc2872 fol 21 pg 34

Thomas Moss head marr 30 Iron Plainer b Wigan
Jane Moss wife marr 27 b Manchester
Alice Moss dau 4 b Manchester
James Moss son 6 b Manchester
Elizabeth Courage wid 59 mother in law b Ireland

There is one other Alice who was actually born 1854 but she was the daughter of Robert.

I've been working on Findmypast can anyone do better on Ancestry?

i dont think my last reply went through apologies anne that cant be right as thomass first child was b 1846 which would make him 11 thanks though where did you find the marriage of Moon and pickup

Kim

Kim Report 22 Aug 2011 20:54

Susan, if it's the right one, the address is New Road, Clayton le Woods, Chorley.

St Andrew's church, Leyland, has the banns for Thomas's marriage:
20, 27 Sep & 4 Oct 1846, Thomas Moss and Catherine Clitheroe both of Clayton

If it is correct, she would not have been the first bride to lie about her age.

Once I've finished my sandwich, I'll be back on it!

Susan

Susan Report 22 Aug 2011 20:53

no it cant be this marriage as thomass first child was b 1846 so that would have made him11
