Brickwall - Eleonor Lander

[bryn394]

My 2x gt grandmother Eleonor LANDER was born St Pancras c1841, father was George Moseley LANDER (solicitor)
I cannot find anything on her birth, who her mother was, when her mother died (?).
Her father married Honora SCANLAN,  08 Nov 1856, condition batchelor. (I have the marriage certificate.) George married again in 1868 this time recorded as a widower.
She married William INWOOD, 09 April 1859 in the parish church St Pancras.
Eleanor went to Australia, arriving Mar 1862 with her 2 daughters; her husband had arrived the previous year.
  In the 1871 census Eleanor was back in England less her daughters. I connot find any trace of her after this. Husband & daughters remained in Aust.
Summing up, no Info prior to her marriage in 1859, & no trace after 1871.

The same brother who is living with George in 1871

He is unmarried in 1851, so he could have picked up Eleanor from one of the wives.

John G Lander  40 solicitor b Birmingham

John G Lander (brother, solicitor b Birmingham abt 1810) is with George and family in 1871, so this does seem to be a match.

1871: RG10/676/56/12

He is unmarried in 1851, so he could have picked up Eleanor from one of the wives.

The trouble is that the wives seem too young to be Eleanor's mother.  If I have the right Honora SCANLAN she was only 20 in 1851 (in service in St Pancras).

The 1861 Susan is Susannah in 1871 so she was presumably the 1868 marriage

A possible death for Eleanor although birthyear is out by several years
