If you read my original post, I've explained it there. It's should be Harriett Ann Ellis, I originally put Mills in error. Sorry! my mistake

Harry has children with two woman Grace Swine (he marries her in 1865) and Harriett Ann Ellis (he doesnt marry her). He is with Grace in the 1871 census, but with Harriett in 1881 census onwards.

Although children born to each woman cross inbetween each other, so he was back and forth between them before settling with Harriett. 

This is all fully confirmed through the children between the two woman, as they are witnesses as each other's marriages etc as well as census details.

Grace must have known Harry was still alive, even though she lists herself as widow in the 1891 census

Her daughter Rose had Harry and Harrietts daughter Catherine Fisher as a witness at her wedding. So all the children were in contact.

yeah sorry that was my error, just noticed that and have corrected. It should be Harriett Ann Ellis, no idea why I put Mills. Tiredness probably lol

I've been working on this family solidly for a few days connecting it all in and it's been confusing to say the least, but finally, have the majority of it fathomed out.

  No problem, it is indeed odd as Martha 1880 is clearly shown as being born Redruth in 1881 census above, but registered in St Olave, Surrey.  Also in 1901 Harriet Fisher 56 is now born Penzance with Harry?
A Cornish connection somehow?
