No MMN on the GRO index for that birth, confirming the child’s illegitimacy

Always check the GRO site which shows MMN (or absence thereof) on records pre-1911

Thanks Choccy, that makes sense Martha was her sister and Henry was her step-brother. Where did you find this?

I have Ellen Elizabeth Bell appearing as a 9 yr old daughter of George Bell and Ann Elizabeth Bell nee Guy on the 1891 census. Born Southwell, Nottinghamshire, resident Pleasley Hill, Mansfield, Notts. However this is the only reference for her I can find. There's no birth registration (one for Elizabeth Ellen has a different MMN), no death reg, or anything. I am beginning to wonder if she was a figment of the emunerator's imagination. I can trace all other family members. Can anyone else find her?
