The son of Robert Moseley of Leeds who took over the business on the death of his father, c.1815.

An advertisement in Leeds Mercury, 1816, read: ‘Thomas Moseley, Son and Foreman of the late Robert Moseley … begs leave most respectfully to return his grateful thanks to the Nobility, Gentry and other Friends of his late Father for the many favours conferred on him in his life-time; and to inform them that he has removed from his Father's late shop to the more commodious one, lately occupied by Mr. Lumb, as an auction room, No. 1 Trinity-Lane, where he proposes continuing the business in all its various branches. Having been engaged several years in the First House in the Trade in London, and ever since Foreman to his Father, where the Principal Part of the Business has been done either by himself or under his immediate Inspection, he is encouraged to hope it will be in his power to give the same satisfaction … NB. An apprentice wanted.’
