Hi everyone.
I am looking for my ggrandmother Henrietta Channell, born abt 1874. She married Robert John Wood.
I know her father was Henry Channell, but I am unsure about her mother...I thought she was Ellen stevens but I then saw he later married Agnes Newson who was their housekeeper!!! and they had 3 children and I cant see Henrietta. I find a Henrietta with her grandparents in one census but I dont know if this is the correct Henrietta.
I also cannot trace Ellen Stevens anymore..
ANy help would be appreciated, thankyou.

Thankyou. I had not seen the 1911 census one.

These are all definately her. I wonder why she is not in the census with Ellen her mother.
Maybe Henry had an affair with his housekeepr and Henrietta was sent to live with her grandpaarents ( Ellen's parents)
Ellen seems to be completely out of the picture and never seen in the census with her mother.

I had not seen those baptisms..Thankyou.

As for the census 1891, I had seen this but was unsure if it was her as it looks like one l in Channell and the year of birth was about 9 years difference, but it could be her and I may have my info incorrect.

But we are back to what is her correct year of birth 1874 or 1883

The marriage cert and 1911 census suggests it is 1883
