Could a fresh pair of eyes look at this one for me please?
Ada Nuttall Ensley married George Henry Ramsden in 1893, she was easy to spoy on the 91 and 81 living with her mother and father Joshua and Eliza Emsley. I assumed mother eliza was eliza nuttall, and she was, but, she was living in Mansfils Notts when Ada was born and Joshua was in Yorkshire, married with a daughter.
So I then found that Eliza had Ada unmarried and lived with her father Thomas and mother Charlotte Nuttall on the 1871 in Mansfield. However, Charlotte is 20 years younger than her husband and Eliza if 20 years younger than Charlotte and on the 1861 Charlotte is married to John Nuttall not Thomas Nuttall.
The only one of them I can find on the GRO is Thomas Nuttall, Eliza's brother born mansfield 1845, who in 1891 is living in Todmorden. His father on an earlier return is John Berkit Nuttall, who Charlotte did marry. Some shenanigans going on but nothing in the census or GRO index is revealing the truth of it. The tree is a public one on ancestry if anyone can have a look and spot anything I have missed in the hours of time I have spent on this!
TIA

It's taken hours of elimination but suddenly it all came together.
No, Eliza's mother was Laura Merchant, John Nuttall's first wife and mother of all the children. Charlotte Bexon was his second wife, he married her in 1860, but on the 1871 return, I think the enumerator has written Thomas instead of John. Charlotte's father Thomas Bexon is living there too, there is no 'Thomas' Nuttall and John did not die before 1871.
