Hi Merry , I also was wondering if we also made Sure that the other mother maiden name breakell wasn't James's Mother . Has she had a James moss in pemberton in 1887 Have we definitely ruled her out from being a potential mother of James ? Thanks

Well you can do the same as Kate did for James, mother Margaret Leicester (see posts #22, #23, #25 and #35) - Look for the potential James on the census, look at the names of his siblings, look up their birth registrations to confirm they also have the same mmn to be sure the James on the census is the correct one. Then confirm the parents marriage.
If you do that for James Moss mmn Breakell you would discover his father's name was Thomas! We know your James had father James dec'd from his 1908 marriage cert. Here is the marriage of the parents of the other James: Marriages Sep 1881 BREAKELL Elizabeth Wigan 8c 145 MOSS Thomas Wigan 8c 145 Also, that James was still single and living with his parents in 1911.

I can't see an obvious service record for him on FMP or Ancestry. It's very possible it has not survived as over 50% were destroyed during WW2.
If he'd had children born during his war service you might find his regiment details on the child's birth cert, but it looks like he had children registered Q2 1914 (too soon, unless he was a regular) and Q2 1919 which may be too late, though some were still serving for a few months after the war ended. Have you checked that no one in the family has kept anything to do with his war service? Cap badges often seem to end up in a drawer, but of course it's not always straightforward knowing who they belonged to! If we knew which regiment he was in or, better still, his army number, it's possible we could find out more.

Sorry merry we do not have anything belonging to him which is a shame . I do know when he came home he was in a military hospital and never worked again due to ill health . That's it that's all I know thanks
