Indecipherable! IMHO  ;D

Have you looked for her in 1851?  I guess she might be married by then, but you could try BMDs too...

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

She was born in Elmdon in Essex. I can't find the family on 1851 at all. Just found her brother Charles in 1871 but is married and has his own family by then!

also - just tried freebmd - no marriages for a mystery girl. just Susan, John and William Newton

Ipsa is a name I have seen on some census forms...Although It does more resemble an "E" cap....J.J.
