ARC TBC - Henry Corbitt Elliott, Northumberland 1874

[shazzatex]

Hi all please help

My great grand father Henry Corbitt Elliott born 19th January 1874 North Sunderland, Northumberland mother is turning out to be a mystery for me. I have his birth cert his mothers name is down as Catherine Elliott (no fathers name) but all the census around that time (1881 & 1874) is claiming his mother is Ellen the sister. Can someone please help me with my puzzle

Is this the census? This does not suggest that Ellen was Henry's mother -- only that he is Eleanor's grandson -- he could be the son of Catherine, Ellen or indeed of another daughter/son of Eleanor not living with them on this census --

Don't see what your problem is, you have the Birth Certificate, mother is Catherine.
