Please just note, the record above is actually showing Ellen Wilton born 1822c - this is obviously the daughter of Ellen senior who is by this time a widow. Sorry for any confusion.

This is the birth record for Thomas Wilton, Ellen's husband, showing his parents:

I have managed to find four children of Thomas Wilton & Sarah, as follows:

Based on the above, I've now found what would appear to be the correct marriage entry for Thomas Wilton and Sarah - so we can see her maiden name was Took:

My error here. Ellen Wilton above (b: 1822c) is daughter of Emily shown in the 1841 census image - is wrongly said her mother was also Ellen. My apologies for more confusion.

Ellen Wilton b: 1822 - daughter of Emily, widow.

Just to say, if I can persue this any further for you, please let me know and I'll be happy to see if I can find anything more.
