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.

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?
