Eleanor was born ca 1836/37, based on her age when she died. She was 48 years old when she died.
There is also a question about her birth name. Married to her second husband and an adult woman with 7 children her maiden name was Ellen Lane but a record for her first marriage to John Cornell gives the name of Helen Delaney. This record is a report of the marriage in a newspaper, the original marriage record hasn't been found.
A couple of possible explanations: My 2x great grandmother changed her maiden name after her first marriage to a more English sounding name. Helen Delaney could be a Roman Catholic name.
Her name could have been Eleanor (Ellen) Lane all along and it was misunderstood when she applied for the marriage license or the newspaper could have made a mistake reporting the brides name.
So far no early records have been found for Elinor Lane or Helen Delancy. We don't know her siblings or her parents.
We don't really know her name.
