Still can't pin down Lucy's birth registration. It should be in Penkridge, if she was born Wheaton Aston.
I'm firmly suspicious, that the missing 1861 Census for Charles & Mary, is where your Ellen will be with Sarah - and that Blackburn isn't the name she was birth registered under?
Looking for:
Mary's maiden name.
Her marriage to Charles.
Lucy's birth registration - she was baptized, 7 May 1843, Penkridge.
Cheers
