Are you absolutely sure of Elizas age? Found another one but aged 15. The names have been mistranscribed - will check the image - No. Eliza shown as 12 and Emily as 10 - I suppose they could have got it wrong. What is the mothers name - do you have the birth cert for Eliza. As this one shows the mothers father as Page. From the info you mailed me since - if she was 26 in 1885, 22 in 1881 then she would be 12: To confirm this you will have to buy the birth cert and see if mum was nee Eliza Page. It may be her birthday falls very near the census dates. The grandfather is shown as fisherman.
