Hi Mark, The Musgroves and Musgraves may be, in fact probably are, the same folk. Sorry I was too slow to spot the likely spelling variation. The spelling of Musgrove is the dominant one in most of our records, so I'm not sure where or when the Musgrave crept in. However, these things do 'appen. Names do change over time! The information I have is that in the Kildwick parish registers:- Edith Hannah TETLEY 20 years spinster of Kildwick father Samuel TETLEY (Manufacturer) married William MUSGROVE 23 years bachelor (Merchant) of Otley father Peter William MUSGROVE (Merchant) on 14th October 1884 page 200 number 400 So, going back to her father & mother Samuel TETLEY full age bachelor (Book Keeper) of Sutton father Jonas TETLEY (Warehouseman) married Hannah BARRETT full age spinster of Eastburn father Peter BARRETT on 22nd August 1860 page 102 number 203 Their children were:- Peter William Tetley, John Smith Tetley, Edith Hannah Tetley. Hannah (nee Barrett) died in 1866, and Samuel married again. His second wife was Ellen Jane (?) and there were six kids:- Samuel Herbert T, Henry T, Bulie T, Jane Preston T, Fred T, & Dora T. Samuel was a son of Jonas Tetley & Mary (nee Smith). They had 8 children Jonas was a son of John & Ann Tetley (11 children) John was a son of Jonas Tetley & Hannah Crabtree. I'll send you a report on that part of the family tree. I've just looked up the 1881 census, and this is..... you guessed MUSGRAVE!
