Hello

Please could someone read the 1871 census for me and let me know who is living with
Richard HANCOCK born 1838 Alcester. Factors clerk at No 1 Richards Street Birmingham.

I know his wife and children are but who is the other person with no surname and what relation is she?

I cannot make out if it's an Elvira? I would like to find her on another census.

Thank you Shirley
