Possible marriage two years later for Philip after death of Ellen in March 1835

Perhaps uncle Edward too Agnes in and she was baptised again as their child?

[Archivist_47]

I couldn't figure out how Ellen was a niece as she and her uncle were born the same year.

[heywood]

Well that can happen but I was thinking she was the niece of Edward?

What are the relationships in the census?

[Archivist_47]

In the 1851 Census she is listed as Niece.

[heywood]

Niece to the head of the family.
