Can anyone help with these families ?

I have been trying to match up families from the IGI, 1871 census and 1881 census. Can anyone on the list help me to clarify what spouses belong to what children. I realize that their may be errors in each of these sources and I need to look at actual films, etc to in the end verify these families. What I started with was every marriage in the IGI and made them a family sheet. Then by using the IGI and census tried to join children to families. Below are some of the question I have with some of these families.

Grace PASCO is listed as the HOH in the 1881 Camborne census Her daughter Grace BOSANKO is listed with her as b; 1857 Camborne. Her grand son is listed as John P. BOSANKO b; 1879 Camborne. Any idea who Grace BOSANKO's husband and John's father is ?

Ellen BOSANKO b; 1836 Camborne is listed as a widow in the 1881 Camborne census. She has 2 of her children living with her. William b: 1862 Camborne and Susan b: 1858 Camborne. Any idea who Ellen's husband was ?

Emily (JOHNS) BOSANCO b: 1851, Wendron is living with her son William b: 1868, Wendron. They are in the household of her parents James & Mary JOHNS in Sithney in the 1871 census. Any ideas as to who Emily's husband might be ?
