Stephen Luff    23 B Eynesbury Employee in Paper Mill
Eliza Luff    23
Ada I L Luff    4 b Catworth, Huntingdonshire

There were two Ada Lewins - the one that Miriam found, born c1885 at Abbots Ripton who in 1901 was a servant in Catworth, and the other Ada I who was born in Catworth c1887. Abbots Ripton looks to be the wrong family.

Why can't I see a birth registration for her!

Or that Ada was the illegitimate daughter of Eliza Lewin age 19, so her name really was Ada Lewin. As I can't see her birth registration it might be easier to get the Luff/Lewin marriage cert to see if Eliza was a widow or a spinster and to get her father's name
