I have looked at newer census stuff first, I rather think that Elizabeth is the mother.... But John the father ??? seems a bit old ! was thinking that maybe there was another John , His son....... maybe she is daughter-in-law ?
Or maybe the girls are sisters and the child illegitimate...
Illigitimacy ???.....would this be said in IGI
THANKS

There is also a marriage on IGI for John Compton to Elizabeth Brookfield in 1829 that is a possible
