In my Ingram family tree, I have:
1881 census: Richard(45),Eliza(43)Edwin(14)Frances(10)James(8)Henry(6)Albert(3) and Alice (0)
1891 census: Richard(57)Eliza (55)Edwin(24) Frances(20)James(18)Henry(14)Albert(13) and Louisa ?? (11)

I have found a birth for Alice Louise Ingram Oct-Dec 1880, Fulham.

Is Alice /Louise one and the same person? I cannot see the wood for the trees...

Thanks to anyone who can clarify this for me. I have had contact from people but don't know if we are talking about the same person.

Hi again Jonesey,

As a point of interest, were censuses taken around the same time of year,? I have no idea.
