Chapman conflation

Being my great-grandmother's father, this was one of the earliest profiles I added here and on other genealogy sites when I was a newbie at genealogy.  Therefore, I think I'm largely at fault for the conflation.  Any help to untangle it would be appreciated.  Some work has already been done here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/772915/james-john-ellis-chapman

Which facts are you absolutely positive about? Was he actually called James John Ellis Chapman? It's difficult to see where you're getting your information from when the source just says 1851 England Census etc. Having a bit more source information would help other people to help you.
I'm adding a few sources for you then perhaps we can see what's what. :)
Well I think James and his family are pretty straight, apart from him marrying Eliza not Elizabeth, but I can't see any connection between them and Eleanor.
I didn't know anything about him before going on ancestry, so I'm no real help.  My mom didn't appear to know past her grandmother, and my mom passed away in 2017.  There was a very aged photograph of him on Ancestry that I sent her.  She asked me if he were American, and I told her that the data I had said that he was from Looe, Lancashire, England.
