Hopefully that last record implies that Elizabeth might have been in contact with her mother and/or sister and followed them out to live in Canada.

Hi Sorry I didn't make it clear in my original post. My family are the Skaife's and Lily is down as a daughter, that is what's confused me.
On birth cert her mother is Isabel Coulthard a dressmaker born Co Durham no father named

This is 1911 census for my family
Robert Skaife Head Married Male 54 1857 Railway Goods Guard Darley Yorkshire
Ann Skaife Wife Married Female 44 1867 - Witton Le Wear Durham
John Robt Skaife Son Single Male 22 1889 Fitter Iron Works Middlesboro
Ada Lavinia Skaife Daughter Single Female 18 1893 - Middlesboro
Lily Coulthard Skaife Daughter Single Female 3 1908 - Middlesboro

So she can't be on this census at the same time can she ?
On birth cert her mother is Isabel Coulthard a dressmaker born Co Durham no father named

The Skaifes have obviously taken her in and refer to her as a daughter.

Not sure what you mean by your remark..........

So she can't be on this census at the same time can she ?

At the same time as ...........what?

Lily was Isabel's second illegitimate daughter, as has been shown above.

The mother eventually married, and Lily was recorded on the documents - again shown above
