I am trying to find how Grace Smith, 70 fitted into the family of Michael Moffitt in the U.K. 1841 Census NBL. Michael's mother, Isabella 68 also there. I wonder if Grace is Isabella's sister, or a married relation of Michael. M named a dau Grace.

Question by Meury73

My problem is that I do not know where Grace was born, or whether Smith is her maiden name or her married name. I do not know Isabella's maiden name either. Michael's father died in 1894 just after Michael was born in 1893, and so far I have found no siblings. Isabella would have been in her early twenties when Michael was born, so it is possible that she could have had other babies before Michael - not found so far. Margaret Moffitt was born Blackhall, and perhaps Grace is a married relative of hers.

The family was of a non-conformist dissenting religion, from places around Alnwick, so I am searching there, although it is difficult and I don't know if Isabella's family was Presbyterian or not either.

I am currently looking in the Hexham area, Northumberland.

Any ideas are welcome.
