In 1881 she is shown as a servant, (Polly was often a diminutive term used for Mary) presumably with relatives as other children are described as grandchildren of the head of household:
RG11/2265 Folio 49 page 32
Under Street, Holsworthy, Devon
Arthur PETHERICK Head Marr 58 China Dealer  b. Holsworthy, Devon   
Ann PETHERICK Wife Marr 59 b. Bideford, Devon   
Emma BATTEN G'Daur 12 Scholar b. Plymouth, Devon   
A.W. BATTEN G'Son 6 Scholar b. Plymouth, Devon   
Polly BATTEN Serv Unm 17 b. Pyworthy, Devon   
James KING Serv Unm 20 China Dlr b. Pyworthy, Devon   

The 1871 census shows living at Derril, Pyworthy:
RG10/2210 Folio 23 Page 9 Schedule 36
Jane PADDON Head Wid 45 Dressmaker b. Devonport, Devon
Elizabeth Jane BATTEN Boarder 53 Charwoman b. Pyworthy, Devon

This same Elizabeth BATTEN is shown in 1861 as an unmarried pauper living at Derril with her name shortened to Betsy. In 1851 she is shown, unmarried with a 5 year old son William.

Have you obtained Mary Ellen's birth certificate to determine if the above Elizabeth Jane is her mother? Alternatively, her marriage cert will give her father's name if known.

Hi there

Thanks for a prompt response . Only just made the Batten connection yesterday what you say fits in well ! Seem to be a few unmarried mums about which makes things that bit more complex  Wink

Thanks again

Hi Col

I see them in 1901 living in Cornwall ...I am trying to work backwards as I cannot see Ellen Mary or vice versa in earlier censuses ... do you have the marriage cert?

I will keep looking

Okay the only family that comes close is this

Beatrice Eliza Harris Jan q 1888 Holsworthy  OR Beatrice Ellen Harris June q 1887 Launceston

 Emily Jane Harris Mar q 1886 Holsworthy 

possible :  Elizabeth Ann H Harris Jun q 1884 Holsworthy

possibles;
 Alfred Joshua Harris June q 1891 St Germans  OR Alfred Nathaniel Harris Dec q 1891 Launceston 

George Harris Jun q 1897 Liskeard 

there are 2 Wilfreds bc 1888/9 in Liskeard and a few Williams  Grin

Back after a long walk up the hills in glorious Spring sunshine . Clears the brain for tasks ahead . Somewhat incongruous to see the Arctic hares still in their white coats trying to remain inconspicuous in their heather beds ! Back to the task !

Thanks Deb , good sleuthing . I found Mary Ellen and Joshua ( an agricultural cattleman ) in Little Raphael which is above Polperro in 1901 census . This tied in with family legend . Big family and an accident which claimed the life of one of the children . The Rume census in 1891 is misleading as the enumerator gives  Launceston as the birth place of most of the family  which is nonsense . Probably too much scrumpy on the way passed the pub ! Charles my wife’s grand father born in Plympton St Mary Devon ( about 15 miles east of Plymouth ) . Moved to Gloucestershire  . Found the family all had moved there in 1911 census at Barnsley near Cirencester .

How convoluted ! Seem to be getting there but not easy ! Thanks to all .
