Hi again,
you seem to be getting so involved here that the organisation is going a bit off  ;D or as you say you have more information which has not been disclosed. You need to take a step back to review what you have and what you need to do.

Glad you have sent for the certificates- hopefully you will get a bit more accurate information.

These are presumably the certificates you have sent for:
1901 September quarter vol 2b pg 433 Portsmouth Leslie Whitford Wilson
1899 June quarter vol 3b og 459 Portsea Island Daisy Lilian Johnston

Now this presents a problem in that Daisy should be on 1901 aged 1 yr. (she would have been 2 yrs later in 1901). I can't see one just yet. There may be a possibility that this Daisy died soon after census and the family named next child after her- that sometimes happened but who knows ???

Before you look elsewhere for your family- unless you know that they had other origins it's best to wait for the certificates.

Do you think that your family have Shoreditch connections or is that just speculation?

Speaking of speculation - the closest I can find at the moment is a Lilian Johnson 1 yr born Portsmouth- parents Charles and Mary. Her sister is Violet- so that could be a  clue re flower names chosen for girls  :-\

ps there is a Leslie Whitford born 1900 Southampton which is a bit of a coincidence

strong possibility - lots of Whitfords in Hampshire as well as Wilsons!

Do you have the first names of the Shoreditch WIlsons who had the two girls?
