Are these Grace's siblings?
West Ham covers Leyton where May is said to be born and Albert born Hackney

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
CARNELL, ETHEL MAY COOPER
GRO Reference: 1896 M Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 311

CARNELL, ALBERT HENRY COOPER
GRO Reference: 1898 S Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 602

But why Grace with mmn Ellis.

Sometimes, depending on how the question was asked the maiden name of the Mother's Mother was given

As Grace's Mum came from East Grinstead, could this then be the marriage of Grace's parents?

ELLIS Harriet Ellen E. Grinstead 2b 297

Again via the ancestry tree - the witness may well be her "Father". Harriet's Mother is shown as Jane Ellis 1855 - who married Robert Cooper in 1876 East Grinstead.

So married after Harriet's birth. Harriet has married under her birth name of Ellis, given that correctly for GRace's birth but used Coper for the earlier births as she would hab=ve known Robert Cooper most of her life as her Father. Perhaps he even was ??

i can't see a birth reg. for Harriet but registration was not fully legal until later in the 1870's
