From your snip, I'd say leave out the surname - oops pressed the wrong key  - and use  Hornsey as location

Are you using this search page
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=61596

I have just found it by just putting in her first name & initial (no surname) and Hornsey in 'Lived in'
She was the 2nd result

I’ll try it with less information on the new page.

As lizdb suggests, less is often more  :)

The snip you usefully provided shows that you are still using the surname. As I said before, don't use it, and you will find her!

Christian name only, year of birth only,  living in Hornsey?

I assure you, that should find her  :)

Did you find it? 
We want to help you to get there on this one, so if you still haven't found her it would be good to sort out why. It is a good one to practice searching techniques on. As I said, learning a few "tricks of the trade" will help you in your research and mean you can have the fun of finding more things yourself.

I’ve been polishing off other parts of my tree (I received 12 PDFs the other day) so I haven’t had a chance to ‘re-open’ this yet. But thanks to everyone for the advice.
