In 1814 an Eleanor Spurrell was a witness at the wedding of a Mary Ann Spurrell to Wm Lucas in Stoke Damerel - possibly Mary Ann was another dau of Benjamin (though not mentioned in his will - suggests if she was his dau she may have pre-deceased him). Far from unknown for a cousin to be a witness, though. (Eleanor did have a cousin Mary Ann who could have marr in 1814, though she was bapt in 1777 so older than average for 1st marr)
