I can't be 100% sure it's the right person of course but 99.9% of me says it is. There will always be gaps in what and where and why unfortunately, when so much might have happened. And always variations in spelling, pronunciation and other things. Try places of birth - a cottage between two small villages may vary place of birth between the two, another census might name the nearest big village or town for example that is more likely to have been heard of. A Servant may have been thought to come from somewhere completely wrong or a child moved from place of birth at early age and assumed born where they moved to. Always worth buying a map or googling..... Ellen Elizabeth might appear on a census as Ellen or Elizabeth, Lizzie, Nellie etc Good hunting Kelly
