If the William Moss bc.1857 Mossley is the one you've found who's single in 1881 is he the one who's a son of John and Martha in Saddleworth, keyboard86? If so, it's not the one with Sarah and children in Atherton in 1891! The 1881 one in Saddleworth is still there in 1891 with widowed mother Martha (his age has changed by a couple of years). Cannot find another William Moss bc.1857 Mossley??
The children with William and Sarah in 1891 i.e. John bc.1875/6, Joseph bc.1878/9 and James bc.1880/1 do not appear to have been born with the name Moss in Hyde so suspect they were Sarah's children rather than his or weren't born in Hyde at all - cannot find a likely marriage for William and Sarah either in the known areas.
Just for my benefit, as to Elizabeth Ann Gunnell - who did she marry? Marriage entry 1906 Barnsley states to John William Whitehead or George Fred Senior but cannot trace her after this under either surname??
