I think this is Ellen in 1901, with her name wrongly given as Grey instead of Guy - enumerator's mistake: |

Looking at the 1911 census image, I wonder if James and Ellen had separated ? |

ArgyllGran - I think you're right, it fits. One of her sister's did the same thing, acting as housekeeper to a widower miner with kids. I'm guessing neither of them would have got much more than food and board. |

ArgyllGran, I don't think they were separated other than by James working elsewhere in 1911, they had at least one more child after 1911 - still researching that. |

That would explain the muddle in 1911. |

Thank you everyone, I think between us all the obvious items for Ellen Elizabeth have been traced. I've found another child born 1914 on the GRO index, so some more work to do on the family. Note to self to take the blinkers off I seem to have a blind spot sometimes when it comes to possible illegitimate births! |
