Maybe she could read palms / tea leaves.  People are often linked with gipsies when they are said to do those things.   

Have you located all of the children in 1901 and 1911

You need to work back from your gran and the aunt who you heard it from then.

Who was your gran and who was the aunt

This is confusing if that is your family.
There is a published family tree - with photo of Samuel Taylor and Marion Herbert, also Maisie.
Samuel Taylor is born 1885 in Northumberland. His parents are William Taylor and Ann Young.
