I was wondering if anyone could find Johanna Grenfell on the 1851 census please?

Johanna was born around 1792/93 in Cornwall. Most likely in or around St Just in Penwith as it is St Just I found her living on the 1841 and 1861 census.

In 1841 she is living with her husband Peter Grenfell (1792) and 7 children and in 1861 she is a widow living with her son in law and daughter Edward (1827) and Jane (1828) Hicks and their children. Can anyone find Johanna?

Thank you for finding this It looks promising especially as it shows Johanna was a widow when she married Peter. I'll do a bit more digging and see what I can find.
