Ruling one out: I had a look at Florence Lucy Miles, who died in Islington Mar qtr 1875 aged 4 (so age and location match).  However, she was born on 26 Sep 1870 according to her baptism record.

Her death was also earlier - she was buried 22 Jan 1875.

Could it be 'Jobie' as in a pet name of Job? There is a christening registration for 19th February 1871, York / Guisborough for Job Taylor Miles at FamilySearch. It would tie in with what appears to be a birth date of January 26th, 1871 on the card (possibly!)

Jobie is also, though a little unusual, a girl's name

Alex

Still marked as living in the 1901 census, so that rules that out.

It's a shame I can't simply find a list all deaths registered on March 10th 1875, I could rule them out one by one.

I'm wondering if it's .....'s Mite (as in wee child) - in which case finding a name may be almost impossible.

Just had another look, and I think I can make it out as Lotties Mite.

So long as your suggestion isn't based on this...: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=46943584&ref=acom

It was likely set up after a previous (and presumably incorrect) attempt at deciphering the name on this photo. The name Tobias Milne doesn't appear on the 1871 census or in any BMD records so I am discounting it.

I think it may be worth requesting a photo of the MI as I would assume this to be where the info. with names/dates (which match perfectly) were found?

Added I don't see any info. as to where the grave is/which cemetery  :-\

I don't think it's based on a grave - I think it's based on someone's reading of the words on the back of this photo.

The date on the card is surely the date of death, which is not necessarily same as that on which the death was registered.
