Origins of Ellen Margaretta Honey (b. April 1845, Devenport)

This thread had me very confused.  I searched and searched for a Samuel Pope Honey baptised in Devonport in 1822 - then realised that you have the name wrong.

Samuel Pike Honey was born the 8th December 1822 and baptised the 24 December 1822 in Stoke Damerel, Devon to William and Elizabeth Honey.  William's occupation was a smith

The baptism is from FindMyPast

The relationship of John and Thomas is through their wives.  John Honey married Mary Ann Spargo the  sister of Margaret Spargo the  wife to Thomas Honey.  Mary Ann and Margaret were both baptised in St Neot, Cornwall to John and Mary Spargo.  Margaret was baptised as Peggy Spargo

Therefore in 1861 Ellen was actually the niece of Mary Am (Spargo) Honey
