Difficult, but what I know working backwards
William James Moss born 18/2/1837 New Norfolk Tasmania to Charles and Sarah Moss
Death of Thomas Pilkington Moss 11/5/1845 aged 45yrs buried at New Norfolk 14/5/1845
Levi Moss transported with mother Sarah Moss wife of Charles Moss, Sarah on Hydery and Charles per England, child 2-2½ (Levi) Levi re-united with parents 1840 from Orphanage
1848 Sarah marries John Robinson as Sarah Pilkington and they reside near New Norfolk along with her sons William James Pilkington and Thomas Levi Pilkington.
William James Moss and William James Pilkington birth date (from family records) both share same birth date 18/2/1837.
Thomas Levi and William James (are brothers) from later documents.
Sarah's death places her birth closer to 1799/1800 as does Charles's
You mention Charles as native of Lincoln I cannot locate the indent for Charles which would have his native place but sure I have seen and agree (would you have a copy)
The Thomas I have shown as son of William and Maria, is the only one I have been able to make fit, that was why I have tried to find Maria's maiden name, I cannot prove he is the correct one and I cannot select the correct marriage between Sarah and her husband Charles (Thomas).
I have calculated that Levi was born March/April 1830 from his Orphanage records. This also matches Thomas Levi's death age.
When I started this search years ago I had no knowledge of where my 2 x G GF Thomas Levi Pilkington or his mother Sarah Pilkington originated. My first break through was connecting William James Pilkington and Thomas as brothers and the William James Moss birth.
Did not go into all this on my first post as it would have been too confusing.
Even though I have not been able to find the baptism that Rosie99 has supplied it is the only Levi Moss that possibly matches.
