Yikes, that creates another (worse?) Issue for me. I had Ellwood as her maiden name, and she married my grandfather John William Troughton (born 1891) to become Agnes Troughton. They had Noreen, Doris, Muriel and Jack.  Beginning to see how confusing this can all get. Never sure who to believe (ancestry vs myheritage vs FamilySearch)

Agnes' maiden name, was indeed Ellwood as has been stated more than once.   It's just her parentage that has been the issue i.e. her mother Isabella was not an Ellwood by birth.   Agnes Jane Ellwood was not illegitimate - she was, as I stated earlier, born to a Joseph Ellwood and Isabella Burrell who married 1892 Penrith.   Her mother, Isabella Ellwood nee Burrell married George Ralph Watson 1899 as a widow, and states her own father was a William Burrell.

The trouble with the trees I've seen on Ancestry is that proper research hasn't been done.    It's been assumed that Agnes' father was George Ralph Watson and that her mother was an Isabella Ellwood.   If they'd bothered to check out the marriage between them they'd have seen that Isabella Ellwood was a widow, not a single lady, and likewise, if someone had bothered to get Agnes Jane's birth certificate they'd have seen that her parents were Joseph Ellwood and Isabella, nee Burrell.

Incidentally, Isabella Burrell was bp.30/4/1865 Penrith, dau. of William and Barbara.   The surname has been mistranscribed in FindMyPast baptism index as 'Birrill'.

You are going to need the marriage certificate of Joseph Ellwood and Isabella Burrell who married in the June quarter 1892 Penrith.   At the moment we only have Joseph's name and that when he died 1895 he was shown as bc.1861 (death entry shows aged 34) but I can't find anyone to fit this in Cumberland.   So, where/when was he born, what was his occupation, name of his father.

You are going to need more information to enable you to follow the Ellwood line.

I think Joseph is possibly the son of Joseph Ellwood and Mary Hunter...

Well done, cuffie 81.   I no longer have access to newspapers alas but had been looking at that Joseph Ellwood this afternoon.   Could find no link to Westmorland though - however, Joseph's address of Eamont Bridge when he married Isabella would definitely appear to confirm it.

His baptism:

Joseph Ellwood (birth Sept.1861) was baptised 13/4/1862 at Bolton, Westmorland, son of Joseph and Mary.
