It's ok EC, it's easy to get wires crossed and motives wrong online. Many think i'm patronising, when it's often just the way i type. Thankyou, that has cleared the air, so to speak.

I had a look into your Peter Moss last night. As Frances points out above, there is a marriage in 1784 between a Peter Moss and Jane, which seems to fit better than the other marriages on the LOPC.

This pair do appear to be having children in Dalton near Upholland, but also in Wigan. It's possible the difference of abode on the birth records, could just be down to them using differing church's for baptisms.

Other evidence for Jane being Peter Moss's wife is a death in 1835, abode also in Orrell, just like Peters.
