OK THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

i have found on ancestry 1881 census a emily born in shoreditch 1874 which is correct. there is no surname and she is a inmate. how can i find out more

I think the surname of the Emily you found was James. There is a Phoebe James entered above her and I think the enumerator just forgot to put the 'ditto' under the surname. They are in the Brentwood School District according to the top of the page. Kath. x

oh well, i have spent ages trying to find her

i have found a eliza swift born same time and plaace. Might it have been wrote down wrong ???????

how about this 1881, 44 mary street hagerston shoreditch has a ellen swift born 1874 shoreditch 1891 same adress has eliza swift could it be wrote down wrong

i will get birth cert

The father of Eliza/Ellen is called William not George. It is possible that Emily was missing from the 1881 census - my gt gt grandmother is.
