Wow, that's interesting - yet more information. I hadn't found Isabella's birth record yet. Thank you very much.

OP,
Do you have the birth record for the elder daughter?

That's great thanks.

I had found Ellens marriage registration and yes, I did clock the witness connection.

I hadn't yet found her birth registration though, so you've solved that for me.

I'm having difficulty finding a birth record for another closely related individual but I'll start a separate thread for that (seeing as you are so much better than me at that).

Cheers.
