Nellie and Lillie variations from census to census are shown as adopted daughter whilst Lydia is shown as niece

Joshua died 16/04/1932, probate to Gertrude lepard Unwin

There is also a family tree online with information about Joshua and Eliza

Lydia Bertha Maskell's parents were George Maskell and Sarah Ann Fowler. Sarah Ann  died 1883 and George married  Sarah Ann Unwin, sister of Joshua. George died 1886

George's father Thomas also married an Unwin, Mary in 1845. The daughter of Thomas and Mary, Eliza Maskell married Joshua Unwin.  ........ all gets very complicated.

Although there is a death record for Lydia Bertha Maskell Sept 1975 Cambridge, you are probably correct in that everyone thought of Lily as an UNWIN.

Thanks for looking

Strange to use another name but it was quite common, would have been easy to find him if he had kept to his marriage Christian name Obadiah/Obediah, well it makes it interesting I suppose
