Sarah Ellen Osborne was the daughter of John Henry Osborne and Hannah Bushby, who had immigrated to the USA from England. They were employed by Dr. Cyrus Baldwin and his wife Lois, who had no children of their own. The Osbornes let "Nellie" stay with the Baldwins when they returned to England.
There is no proof that she was ever adopted by Dr. and Mrs. Baldwin, so they should be considered her foster parents.
"Nellie" is presumably a nickname derived from her middle name, Ellen.
She used the name Nellie Baldwin when she married, and after she divorced her first husband, she went back to live with Mrs. Baldwin.
Her Death Certificate gives her name as Nellie Baldwin Wilson.
