What sort of information.  Do you have her on census. Did she marry

Can you give us some more information please? For example:

Is there any specific information you are looking for?
What do you already know about her? (there is no point people searching for something you already know)
Do you have her in any census either with her own parents or with a husband and children?
Is France her married or maiden name?
Who did she marry?

Also keep an open mind about her first name - unless you have her birth certificate and she was registered under the name Lizzie, she may appear as Elizabeth or variations.

Added: I see Rosie is thinking along the same lines ...

If KGarrad has found the correct family there is a Lizzie France aged 15 in 1901 who is a servant born in Ashby, which I notice is very close to Scunthorpe, who may be your Lizzie.
