Hang on!
So this is why Ellen was not on the 1881 census:-

Name: Ellen Goodman
Age: 3
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1878
Relation: Niece
Gender: Female
Where born: Erdington

Civil Parish: Birmingham
County/Island: Warwickshire
Country: England

Street address: 38 Cambridge St

Registration district: Birmingham
Sub registration district: Lady Wood
ED, institution, or vessel: 1
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members:
Name Age
Mary Ann Broughton 34 born: Birmingham
Thomas Broughton 44 born: Birmingham
Thomas Broughton 5
Ellen Goodman 3


marriage for above couple:-
Marriages Dec 1871 (>99%)
Broughton Thomas Birmingham 6d 177
Cook Mary Ann Birmingham 6d 177

so Mary Ann was probably Elizabeth's sister.

If this is the correct one, then this looks like him in 1891:-

Bertha Orr abt 1886 Samdside, Westmorland, England Daughter West Broughton, Lancashire
Cordelia Orr abt 1873 Connty Galway, Ireland Daughter West Broughton, Lancashire
Earnest Orr abt 1878 Samdside, Westmorland, England Son West Broughton, Lancashire
Emily Orr abt 1881 Samdside, Westmorland, England Daughter West Broughton, Lancashire
Honore Orr abt 1884 Samdside, Westmorland, England Daughter West Broughton, Lancashire
James Orr abt 1876 Barrow, Lancashire, England Son West Broughton, Lancashire
Mary Orr abt 1846 North, Wales Wife West Broughton, Lancashire
Robert Orr abt 1875 Ulverston, Lancashire, England Son West Broughton, Lancashire
William Orr abt 1844 Comthy Galway, Ireland Head West Broughton, Lancashire
(Railway Station Master)


If this is the correct family then it looks as though the name is not French or Scottish, but Irish!!

You can confirm all this info by buying the marriage certificate. It will give both his and her fathers names and professions.

There is this Elizabeth in 1891, but where does Ellen come from?:-

Elizabeth Goodman abt 1850 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Aston, Warwickshire
(Widow)
Ellen Goodman abt 1878 Erdington, Warwickshire, England Daughter Aston, Warwickshire
Lily Goodman abt 1886 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Aston, Warwickshire
Mary Pembleton abt 1851 Ayms Alsy, Staffordshire, England Sister Aston, Warwickshire
John Satchwell abt 1853 London, England Lodger Aston, Warwickshire


Mariage for Robert and Elizabeth:-

Marriages Dec 1872 (>99%)
GOODMAN Robert Birmingham 6d 273
COOK Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 273

so the Martha Cook in 1881 census us probably a relative, sister or niece of Elizabeth.

so this census may not be correct as the sister here is named Pembleton (unless it is her married name)
