Wife of Edward Bickle - born 1825 Devon, England

Hi

I'm having so many different discrepancies over his wife's maiden name. For starters, Edward Bickle is my 2nd GGfather and was born in Devon England in 1825 and died sometime after 1891. He married his wife on February 14, 1855 in Oxford County. So far, I've been able to figure out that her name was Elizabeth...but in my searching, I've come up with her maiden name from Neil, Cornell and Penhale. I'm choosing to believe Penhale as there is evidence as an Elizabeth Penhale working near Ingersoll as a servant in the census of 1851 and the other names surrounding her would coincide with her sisters that I have found. This Elizabeth was born in January 1827 in Devon, England.
But, I have yet to find any concrete evidence that this is the same woman that married Edward Bickle. Searching for the Elizabeth Neil and Elizabeth Cornell have brought up nothing... I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps it was a transcript error.
Any help with this family would be appreciative.

You likely have all this.
1891 census Edward is a widower and his two daughters Alice 23 and Annie 21 are living with him.
Are Catherine and Annie the same person?

On Robert BIckle's marriage rego mother's name is given as Cornell- that sound close to Parhale.

On their marriage rego her name is given as Palmell.

On Bickle Family Tree on Ancestry.ca, Elizabeth's maiden name is given as Penhale, born 9 Sept 1827 Whitchurch Devon England, died 14 Oct 1890 East Zorra, Oxford Co, Ontario.
Edward Bickle's death date is given as 13 Aug 1891, East Zorra.

The sons didn't die until mid 50s so their registrations won't be on line yet but you can get a copy of them from Ontario Vital Stats. The death regos should list mother's maiden name.

There are 2 Elizabeth Parhale's on 1851 census, living in Ingersoll. The one you mention, aged 20, who is listed as servant and another Elizabeth Parhale listed below.

Thank you for your reply.
I am wondering about too if Catherine and Annie are the same person. In one census there is Catherine and the next is Annie with no mention of Catherine. It's interesting to know if they were two people, what happened to the one...
Also, I beieve the Elizabeth Penhale that you have mentioned is the one that I was looking at. The age would coincide with the Elizabeth that would have married Edward Bickle.
Thank you for the tip on checking Vital Stats and tfor the headstone pics - that cemetary isn't far from where we have moved. I'll have to check it out now.
