1861 census help please.

[wilcoxon]

Rachel Francis was born London in 1820
I have her in all census except 1861. Can anyone spot her, she always has b London and   her  age is always given as a round figure - 50 70 etc.
She was  never with any of her family until 1911.
1841 she was  in Europe.
1851 Lancashire
1861 ?
1871 / 1881 Somerset
1891 / 1901/ 1911 Surrey.

Have you found the family she was working for in 1851 on the 1861 census 

[wilcoxon]

No, they were originally from Germany, the father died 1853
Looked on public trees and no one else has them in 1861  apart from one daughter in a boarding school.

I suppose there`s a chance Rachel may be with them, but maybe not .
She spent time in Germany so probably could speak  a  little of the language.

Julia was in Mayfair, London in 1871
