I assume you mean that James Moss's father was deceased, name James Moss? The address on the marriage certificate will be James jr's address, not his father's. I don't understand what you mean by a "father ps name", sorry. And I don't quite understand what you mean about Richard Wright's wife? Do you mean you have seen Richard on a census with a wife named Margaret? Or that the witnesses were named Richard Wright and Margaret Wright, which wouldn't necessarily mean that they were husband and wife?

Ah, this is the 1891 census entry which James18 suggested in post #5:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...&usePUBJs=true 16 White St, Pemberton, Lancashire James Moss Head M 49 Coal Miner Lanc Pemberton Margaret Do Wife M 42 Pottery Labourer Do Do Mary Jane Do Daur 14 Cotton Spinner Do Do Margaret Ann Do Do 6 Scholar Do Do James Do Son 3 Do Do Richard Wright Lodger S 27 Coal Miner Do Do. So that must be your James's family.

And Richard Wright married Margaret Moss in Apr-Jun 1908 Wigan register office or registrar attended. They are on the same GRO page number as James Moss and Jane Whalley, so it looks to have been a double wedding!
