I do have quite a lot of census info on the individuals Barbara but funny you should say that about servants etc., my gt gt (whatever) grandfather who was 80 in 1901 and the one who had the yeast company has a "servant" named margaret, we were wondering if this was his granddaughter or someone entirely different.  Shes v young, but the info I have from my dad is that this is not probable and that she's not a member of the family.  Sheesh my grandfather cant have been that randy could he, I have heard of "partners/wives even" being put down as servants.   :o

Its very confusing because there are Moses's in Tow Law that aren't related and my dad has half of the info, I really must get it off him as he has no time at the moment (busy on his fourt or is it fifth) book.

So as you can see any informatiion that anyone can give me is greatfully received.

I think Margaret Jane was Thomas Moses' granddaughter
birth registration Dec 1877 Weardale 10a 293  Margaret Jane MOSES

Thomas' son John Gill MOSES married Catherine HINDMOOR Jun Qu 1869 Weardale 10a 361 

1891 RG12/4085 Folio 160 Page 26
Prince Row, Tow Law
MOSES
John G       head m 42  Coal Miner   Cockfield
Catherine  wife  m 41 
Mary H       dau   s 19 
John G        son     15  Driver in coal mine
Margaret J  dau     13 
Thomas      son       3 
Catherine and children born Tow Law
 
the family are here in 1881  RG11/4940  Folio  93  Page 38

in 1901 she is not with her parents:
RG13/4663 Folio 85 Page 29
21 Prince Row, Tow Law
MOSES
John G       head 52  Coal Miner   Woodlands
Catherine  wife  51 
Mary          dau  28 
Thomas     son  13  Errand Boy 
Catherine & children born Tow Law
 
So Margaret Jane was probably just staying with her grandfather and being exactly what it says in 1901 - working for him as housemaid domestic!  No mystery!

Thanks Barbara

Well that puts that mystery to bed, shame Id like for there to be something juicey happen in the family - there's still time I suppose.
