On the new pilot search on the FamilySearch website I have found the Christening/Baptism of Hester Meredith Boyes, 12 May 1897, North Runcton.  The parents are are Frank and Isabella Boyes.  Frank & Isabella were living at Oakwood House Tottenhill on 1891 and 1901 census, so North Runcton is within that area.  Isabella died in February 1895 so if Hester was her daughter she would have been born before then.  I have tried to find Hester's birth on FreeBMD and come up with nothing.  Can anyone please help with finding her birth?
Many thanks

I see on 1891 (RG12 1571 35 9) that a lot of their children were born in Scotland, as was Isabella.
I wonder if she went back there for her confimement with Hester too?

Good thinking Lizbd, so I had a look on the Scotlands People website and came up with nothing.  I do wonder how good this pilot search is.  Isabella did have two other children born at Tottenhill  John Edward b 1891 and George b 1893 so it is possible that she had another one just before her death.
Thanks for your help, I will keep looking!

According to FreeReg the baptism 12/5/1897 at North Runcton is for HELEN MEREDITH BOYES and states her birth date as 9/5/1880 so looks like this is the Helen on 1891 Census - obviously not baptised at the time of her birth.
