- GRO ref: Trant, Ellen Ann q3 1859 Totnes RD 5b 172; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name, suggesting Ellen was illegitimate
Actual date from baptism PR entry, place from 1871 census
Shown as 'daughter' in the 1871 census, should mean to the head of household (Joseph Foss), not clear if to him or boarder (Sarah Trant) or both. However, when baptised as an adult Ellen named Sarah as her mother and no father's name was shown.
Ellen was shown as '2nd cousin' to Joseph Foss in the 1861 census, with Sarah shown as Joseph's cousin (actually they were cousin once removed and cousin twice removed), which may suggest she wasn't his daughter, but it would be unsafe to assume this.
