I see in 1871 Philadelphia is living with her uncle James Ford, and I can see her in 1881 married to George Whitfield (as 'Phillis') and then again in 1901 as Philadelphia Whitfield, but I can't find her earlier.  I'm also having trouble seeing Frances' birth indexed on freebmd.  I suppose it's possible they were at some sort of institution and that's why we're having trouble finding them.  Or they're using the father's name.  Huh

It would be worth going through and checking all Eliza's siblings can be found in the census, and looking for any girls of approximately the right age in or near their households.  Was Eliza living with her family in 1851?

Hi jorose,

I did check all Elliza's siblings, and they are not with them.

On the 1851 census, Eliza is a house servant living in Norwood, Croydon.
1851 HO107/1601 Folio 631 pg 41

Many thanks for looking anyway   Smiley
