I am wondering if someone can help me with a query regarding my GG Grandmother Jane Taylor, nee Cornelius.
She was born about 1833 in Redruth, Cornwall.
She married Joseph Robert Taylor in 1858 in Cornwall, but still appeared in the 1861 census in the house with her husband, but noted as Jane Cornelius, Housekeeper, with her two sons noted as John and Charles Taylor Cornelius and they were down as boarders.
I have her in the 1871 and 1881 census with her husband and family.
My problem is in the 1841 census I have her at 7 years, named as Jane Ham with her family and then in the 1851 census as Jane Cornelius with her Grandmother Mary Ham.
I would like to find out why her name changed from Ham to Cornelius in that ten years, I can't find a marriage for her or for her mother Mary Ham Jnr.
Sorry this is so long winded.
All help greatly appreciated.
