Surname is Stebbens on the two daughters birth registration. (Elizabeth & Emma). I suspect that the 3rd child in 1911 is a grand child - no mmn on her birth reg.

I have found her and her family 1871 all born Maldon.

It does help us if you give us the details from this census rather than leave us to search for it  ;D
Who are her parents etc

Hi

It always helps if you post full details of any census you are referring to.  That way it saves time trying to find the entry.  I have now done a report to Ancestry showing her correct name as Lydia Elizabeth in case anybody else is looking for her
