There is another daughter here named Ellen, Born  of Margaret, but Ellen was born on 20^th May 1855 and Robert and Margaret were married on 15^th May 1855 at St Nicholas church Liverpool. Although Robert is recorded as the father, Ellen ends up living with her Grandparents at Little Brook Cottages, Home of Margaret's parents John & Ellen Molyneux.

According to the census:

In 1861 and 1871 Ellen is at Little Brook as Ellen Harrison G/Daughter.

But in 1881 she changes to Ellen Molyneux – Why? What did she find out about her past?

Was it that Robert Harrison was not her father, so she changed her name to Molyneux?
