Baptisms to Richard (labourer) & Elizabeth in Bethnal Green:

28 Sep 1854: Sarah Jane, born 4 Mar 1854, of 43 Cudworth St.

11 Dec 1856: Emma, born 10 Nov 1856, of 6 Carlton Place.

In 1857 Richard Peck, 44, of 6 Carlton Place, Bethnal Green underwent a poor law examination. 

He married present wife Elizabeth at Croydon Church "about 15 years ago".
5 children: Richard 11, Eliz 9, James 7, 3 and an infant 12 weeks.
When he was 15 years old Richard hired himself to D. (or Dr) Lashmore (?) of Croydon as groom at £15 a year - spent 6 and a half years there (?).

There is also mention of 6 and a half years at 6 Carlton Place/42 Cudworth St [in Bethnal Green] so I am not sure whether he also spent the same amount of time in his Croydon position.

There may have been an order of removal to Croydon.  The writing is very unclear.

[groom]

So are we saying we think this is the right family? If so, why the different name - how certain are you that she is Jane Louisa? The birth place is also wrong if she was born Southwark, Bethnal Green is the wrong side of the river.

I don't see any connection between the names Jane Louisa and Sarah Jane. Especially as she was known as Lucy in one of the censuses
