Thomas & Susannah Moss Died 1850 - linking the relation

[LizzieL]

Working on lots of assumptions here: If Susannah was a widow when she married Thomas Moss and came from Thornbury, her previous husband may have died there in the few years before 1819.
A John Bray fits the bill.
There is a John Bray of Thornbury married a Susannah Bayliss in Great Kyre Worcestershire on 26 Dec 1796.
The date of marriage would be consistent with a Susannah b about 1776 and place is consistent with not born in Herefordshire but just over the border in Worcs.

Just noticed that John Bray has W in brackets on the marriage transcript, so he was a widower when he married Susannah Bayliss. The only child I have found is William Bayliss Bray - Thomas Moss's executor.

Edward Moss (your Thomas's father) was lucky enough to make it 1861 census. In both 1861 and 1851 he says he was born in Pencombe. Birth 1774 - 1776 from death and census records.

The closest I can find to an Edward Moss baptised in Pencombe is an Edward Morse (FindMyPast transcript - no image) son of Edward and Margaret on 13 Nov 1774.
There is a transcript of a marriage of Edward both as Moss and Morse to a Margaret Prosser in Pencombe on 01 Mar 1767.

And there is a Thomas Morse bapt in Pencombe with same parents on 11 Dec 1767.
That presumed birth year fits quite well with the Thomas who died in 1850.
