if you're homeless with no way to support yourself, you do what you have to.

First off, let's go with your initial logic error: related=/=same station. Pendleton's line about celia is that she's going to GET all his holdings. I never said she was nobility, just that

Now, lets get to your actual point: why would she "demand" (she doesn't, by the way) attention, even though she took the job? Because no one likes being ignored, or talked down to. Lets assume (as you did) she was a noble: she's lost her position and wealth to the flood and plague. That would shatter your worldview and identity. Clearly, she never mattered, because if she did, nothing like that could have happened to her. Which is reinforced by no one caring about her in her new position. Then, if she was only well-off, and not noble (as was my point) that's even MORE a reason to feel that way: she lost her home and job, but doesn't even  have STATION to fall back on.

That's that point defeated.

Now, as for the assumption that pendleton would set her up well once he gained power... that's not supported by Pendleton's character. Pendleton is upset if you KILL his brothers, but seems fine leaving them disfigured and worked to death in a dried-up mine. Even in low chaos, his motivations are petty jealousy and personal greed. There's no guarantee he even would recognize Cecelia as his cousin, given her state, his self-absorbed manner and general distraction due to the conspiracy.

Point is, no, there's almost no chance cecelia is his cousin, I made the connection on faulty information which has since been discredited (much as I have discredited the "whale in the void is the outsider" idea) and the information ought to have been removed, but I never got around to it, and forgot it was there.

I'm not contradicting the decision to remove it. I'm only pointing out that you didn't do so for the right reasons, to encourage you to apply more thought to the subject and make the wiki THAT MUCH BETTER
