The area around Moss Hall is now a housing estate.
It is also very near the border with Altham.
Boundries in census returns can include properties not really within the town boundry, because of proximity.
The preamble at the beginning of each census section will give the census takers route and reasons, and some times includes names of places which are now forgotten.
Best to hand the silk into Accrington Library Local Studies.
