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
