Daft point, but have you checked under "Moore" ?

I have found several missing people because the enumerators misheard, or misunderstood, or simply misspelled the name. Another point is that as "Ditto" was used on the census forms, if person one is wrong, the whole family is.

Thanks to both.  Yes I have tried under everything I can think of.  I suppose it was a bit much to expect others to find what I haven't been able to but thank you all for the help.

Interesting about the Ann Muir Jen .  I know it doesn't help but it would satisfy my curiosity if I knew where Angelina was in 1901.  I'll go and have a look.

Sorry for another obvious point, but have you looked for "Senga"?

I know a couple of people called Agnes who don't like the name so use Senga. A long shot, but worth checking

Do you know 'where' in Scotland Agnes was born?

What I meant to say was are you aware of a middle name for her?

There is an Agnes Reid Laing, father William, born in Fife in 1851

and she is on the census in Scotland in 1861 with her family, in Fifie

There's an Agnes Muir in South Shields on 1911 census.

Age shown as 62 ( not far out from your Agnes) , and South Shields isn't that far from Newcastle.
