This is what I know
Robert ellington abt 1791and sarah papworth abt 1791 had a son william abt 1824 who married Jane woodruff. This info is correct

On the 1841 census there is a child called mary abt 1835, in the 1851 census I have found her to be the grandaughter of robert and sarah.
also in 1851 census with robert and sarah they have another grandchild called William Rose abt 1840. These 2 grandchildren can not be the children of william abt 1824 as he would have been too young. and I already know who is children are.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can find out who their parents are. when looking for birth records there is loads of william roses so I am not sure which one he is.

All these are in the huntingdonshire area.

Thanks in advance

One of these is probably William Rose's birth (Huntingdon covers Bury, which is given as his POB in 1851):

Births Mar 1839 (>99%)

Rose William Huntingdon 14 181
Rose William Child Huntingdon 14 180

If you look at the image for Robert and Sarah in the 1841, William is living with him. For some reason he is shown on his own in a separate household in their house. Possibly his parents were away at the time of the census.
