Tazzie, you're a star.
I just managed to find them using your HO reference - The Genealogist has them listed as Pheau. Ancestry as Phan.
All the ages on the actual image are way out, as well as the birthplaces. Annie and Harriett were sisters, born in Bedford in 1863 and 1874 respectively, so should have been listed as Annie 27, Harriett 17 and Annie Jnr 5. Looks like the enumerator got his knickers in a twist and whoever copied his paperwork into the book even more so!
No wonder I couldn't find them using birthplace and age!
But I don't think there can be any doubt that this is them. The Chandler link is just too obvious. Where Percy is is anyone's guess, but they probably have him aged 47 and three quarters and born in Lithuania, so we'll never find him.

Probably a complete red herring, but there is a Percy whose surname looks like (& is indexed as) REW, a 3 yr old nephew in the household of James and Maria Smith in Ford End Road, St Paul, Bedford in 1891. Percy's birthplace is given as Middlesex.
RG12/1252 folio 68 p19
Quite a long shot given the surname as listed, but the combination of the age, Middlesex birthplace and being in Bedford make me think he might be worth a look.
For what it's worth there's no obvious matching birth of a Perc* REW in Middlesex at the right time on FreeBMD - there was a Percy John REW b Mar 1887 Pancras, but he died Dec 1888 Pancras aged 1.

Hi everyone
I've had a good squint at Percy Rew - comparing letters with others on the page pretty sure it is Rew and not Reid. He's listed as nephew to James Smith but could as easily be nephew of his wife Maria - I'll go and burrow around and see if earlier censuses of these two throw any light.

If Percy Rew is a nephew, then either James or Maria Smith would need to be sister/brother of his mother/father.
Sadly they aren't.
However, Percy's relationship is a "ditto" beneath another nephew, which could well be a Mistake. Capital letter used advisedly!
