    I have seen multiple baths on 1 GFI.
    Do they all Have GFI's. Many newer GFI will not reset without power being present.
    Does turning off the light switch reduce or eleminate that low voltage reading.

    The outlets are controlled by double 15amp.outside the box is a gfi that is used for telephone equip. And sump pump.lights are separate, voltage same.

    Do the voltage test with a load on the circuit.
