Maddie says "clearly mum not married".

Yes, she was married - assuming Mary was Ellen & Williams daughter.
GG has posted a Wannell/Wannell marriage

Could this be the "other Mary" d/o Elias and Ellen

Yes Maddie that’s her - but think I might need her birth cert - unless I can find her baptism - will keep looking thank you x
I was told she was a landlady for a long time - so the Steam packet family fit - but obviously need more proof!

In 1891 Elias Wannell is a mate aboard the vessel "Primrose".

I don’t know - it looks like there are two Mary’s - but I don’t know which is the right one!
Thank you for highlighting them - it’s goung to take more than I thought!

But then there;s this family in 1891 in Topsham. Ellen is listed as seaman's wife:

Ellen Wannell 41
Elias H Wannell 19
Frederick Wannell 12
Edith M Wannell 10
Charles Wannell 8
Florence Wannell 8
Albert Wannell 4
Stanley Wannell 2

Change of father’s name? Or a sibling of William C Wannell

Hmm is this the only group of Wannells in 1901 please?

The last 3 names are also Wannell, they're on the next page and have been mistranscribed.

Unfortunately she's a servant in 1901 in the Wright household, Topsham, Devon.
I'll have a look at 1891.

Could someone please have a quick look on 1901 please?
For Mary Lewis Wannell born 1881 - ( just after the free census!)
Topsham, Devon - thank you anyone who doesn’t mind helping x
