I am seeking assistance in sorting out Elizabeth Mary Huthnance of Cornwall.
The information I think I have obtained is that she was the daughter of John Huthnance and Elizabeth James, born June Qtr 1869 with a Redruth registration.
I have her in the 1871 census RG10/2323/74/30 as the daughter of John, aged 45 and Elizabeth aged 43, with siblings John 23, Thomas Mary L 9, James 4. She is shown as 2.
In 1881 I have found an Elizabeth Mary, aged 12 but with parents John Huthnance aged 34, and Grace Eva aged 33. The siblings are John, 9, James 8, Lily 6, Annie 5, Arthur 3, and Thomas 2. Census RG11/2336/8/10.
In 1881 John Huthnance aged 54, and Elizabeth James aged 52 have Mary J, 17 and James, 14 living with them. Census RG11/2334/70/24.
Is Elizabeth Mary passed off to John and Grace, or does Elizabeth Mary, daughter of John and Elizabeth die, and John and Grace have their own daughter?
John and Grace are further complicated by the fact that John originally married Grace Roskilly, who died in December Qtr 1870, and he married Grace Eva in July qtr 1871.
ANY assistance in sorting out this family will be very gratefully received, as what hair I have is being pulled out in frustration.
