My ancestor Mary Ann Plummer had an illegitimate daughter Maud bpt Jan/Feb/Mar 1861. In the 1861 census Mary Ann is living at Zion Hill, Lenton in the civil parish of Radford servant to Samuel Marples, solicitor and public notary. Maud is as follows
1861
St Mary Nottingham Holland Street
Ellen Curtis F wid 56 Lace Drawer b Westborough, Lincs
Ellen Curtis F dau 20 Lace Drawer b Nottingham
Maud Plummer F 0 nursechild b Nottingham
1871
Lambeth
Thos H Waite 27 Clerk Chemist b Boston, Lincs
Ellen Waite 27 wife b Nottingham
Ellen Curtis 66 mother in law b Westborough, Lincs
Maud Plummer 10 visitor b Nottingham
I am trying to find out who Ellen Curtis senior was. My best guess is that she is Mary Ann Plummer's maternal aunt, Eleanor Broughton b Westborough 1805, but I have been unable to find anything to substantiate this.
Any help much appreciated.

Having had a quick look on the gro website, the Ellen aged 20 on the 1861 census maybe the Ellen Curtis born 1838 in radford union with mothers maiden name broughton. It's the only Ellen Curtis I can see born in Nottingham between 1838 and 1843

Thank you both so much, i couldn't see the wood for the trees and was concentrating too much on finding the marriage of John Curtis and Ellen. I think there is enough corroborating evidence for Ellen to be Eleanor Broughton and I shall add this info to my tree.
Looks as though Mary Ann Plummer had questionable parenting skills! She had an illegitimate son, my gt gt grandfather Levi when she was 17. Levi was brought up by his grandparents and never knew who his father was, twelve years later she had Maud who was raised by her aunt Ellen/Eleanor. On a brighter note, she was living with Maud when she died in 1891.
