Domestic  Servant

Quite recently I learned that my Great Grandmother, Mary Pryde of Gorebridge, was one of the two domestic servants listed in the 1881 census as residing in the John Horsburgh (photographer and artist)  household  at 10 Strathearn Rd.

The year after that she was married to George Young, also of Gorebridge, and a few years after that the family, including my 4 year old grandmother, was in the West Virginia coal mining region. They returned to Gorebridge after a few yeas in America
