  Noted events in her life were:

• Census, 1881, The Green, Steeple Morden, Cambridgeshire. Mary Ann Moss, age 32, b. in Ashwell, Hertford, was living with her husband, Nathan Moss, head of household, age 26, b. in Steeple Morden, Cambridge, agricultural labourer, their daughter, Nellie Moss, age 4, b. in Steeple Morden, Cambridge, and another child, Emma Austin, daughter, age 11, b. in Ashwell, Hertford, scholar.

They lived at The Green, Steeple Morden, Cambridgeshire.

<u>Note</u> : Emma is shown as daur law to Nathan Moss, but she was his stepdaughter, daughter of Mary Ann Covington and her first husband, George Austin.

Nellie / Ellen Moss was born three years before the marriage of Mary Ann Austin nee Covington and Nathan Moss, so I think she was the daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth Baulk -- she has been entered as such.
