Ruskie how could I resist. 

There is something not quite right about the Moody family.

So the William on the 1841 Census would have been born
about 1760 upwards.

It was not unusual for a woman to be known as Margaret/Mary
therefore is this the case here.

Margaret died in 1829 aged 67 followed by William in 1848 aged 88.

The marriage only notes as below on the N.M.Indexes.

Lamport
15 Apr 1830
William MOODY of Brixworth to Elizabeth MIDDLETON of Hanging Houghton

All these villages Brixworth. Spratton, Hanging Houghton, Lamport
are close by.

Will think about it a bit more.
