Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: George Henry Moss (b.1890), who's the mother? where are the siblings?

Grams does remember Harriet as "the sister that had 2 husbands".     Re "farmed out"  ---It is my understanding that Nanny (Rachel Moss b 1886)  "went into service" at 11 or 12 years of age, perhaps for a minister,  which would explain why she appears to be no longer living with the Moss family in Darlaston in the 1901 census.    I will ask about Portsmouth.

I have now seen the birth certificate in question.  My great - grandmother (Rachel, b 1886) was born Rachel Birden, to Rachel Birden 21 Bull St. Darlaston.   No father listed.  She also used the last name of Moss when married in 1910.     I have asked and the sisters (my Grandmother and her sister) and they do not remember an aunt Harriet,  in fact they remember that my great grandmother had 3 sisters -- Jenny (Jane), Sally (Sarah), and Maria???  and a brother George.      Which all lines up except for Harriet/Maria.   Did your Harriet have a middle name?    I will ask Grams to see what she might remember -- she is now 96 so the memory is a bit fuzzy.

I am very new to geneology but am researching my great grandmother Rachel Moss.  Born 1886 in Darlaston.   Married Arthur H. Harrison.   I know that she had a sister Jennie Moss who married an Adams and lived at 49 Cobden St.  Darlaston.       Beyond that her past has been one of those family things no one talked about, but what little was shared was that "hush hush  there was no father listed on nannie's birth certificate".    I think that her and Jenny may be your missing Rachel (1887) and Jennie (1893)?   Need some help on where to go from here.
