I'm trying I'm trying (very, so says my hubby at times  )

I've found James Housley age 4 with mum and dad in 1851,but he ain't anywhere in 1861.............think he's the one with a Mary Ann Moss.........about to try and prove it.

Back soon.....ish

That does look good - his Mum was Mary Ann wasnt she in 1851 (and the right age from 1851 to 61)  - & given the presence of a slighly older Mark !

Not doing too well here- can't prove anything but will give you what I've found so far.

1851 at Underwood, Nottinghamshire.

Thomas Housley 32 head frame work knitter(in cotton) b Greasley Notts
Mary Ann Housley 28 wife  ditto job ditto place of birth
Ruth dau 10 b Underwood
Mark son 8 b "
James son 4 b "


HO107/2125  Folio  118  Page  13

If you have access to Ancestry,you should be able to view this page.

Back soon with 1861...

LOL - I cant find him in 1871 either - when he should be with Martha if they married in 1866 !

Nor Mark

Here's the family that I think are correct in 1861,dad Thomas has died.
Goodness knows why they are now Moss..........was that her maiden name perhaps?

In Selston Notts.

Mary Ann Moss widowed head 39- all the family born Selston.
Mark Moss son 17 coal miner
James Moss son 14 coal miner
Thomas Moss son 7 scholar
Johnathon Moss son 5 scholar.

Looking good as Newf says- older son called Mark and 7 year old called Thomas(prob after dad)

A birth of Jonathan HOUSLEY was registered in Basford district December quarter 1855 - which would correspond with Johnathan MOSS aged 5, with Mary Ann in 1861.

A death of Thomas HOUSLEY was registered in Basford district September quarter 1855 - although as age of deceased isn't given on the indexes this early it isn't definite that this is James Housley Moss's father. 

I also have a feeling that Moss is Mary Ann's maiden name - she doesn't seem to have married a Mr Moss after Thomas died, (and if she did, it wouldn't explain why James started calling himself Moss )  nor does she seem to have married Thomas Housley.
