Hi Dawn

Sorry to see you still at a dead end with this one. have a look at this link and the 2nd last posting it is from a Sue Shorrock living in Manchester and seems to know a bit of Moston .... Maybe this is the bit of luck you need.http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ewm/001ewm/021a_rm/index2.html

Hi Dawn

What a piece of luck 

Came across this grave very much by chance, you can see how small it is against the headstone, I was looking at a war grave when I saw this and remembered you were looking for Shorrock and Nancarrow. I am more than sure they are who you are looking for

Lily Shorrock (34) & Mary Nancarrow (94)

The grave is located in Philips Park Cemetery (K N/C Section), Manchester
