Daisy is who I thought she probably was. Her supposed father was an Officer at Colchester in 1881.

Thank you Debra
I had not seen that baptism before. I had found another :
Daisy Muriel Hughes
Gender: Female
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 1 Feb 1880
Baptism Place: South Kensington St Luke, Kensington and Chelsea, England
Father: Godwin Hughes
Mother: Elizabeth Hughes
On the photocopy of that baptism it says they lived at 37 Gunter Grove and he was a "Captain in the Army". Certainly sounds like the same people. I wonder if they got married in the week between the baptisms?
All very odd. Godwin is such an unusual name there can't be that many.
Additionally there is an Electoral Register in 1887:
Godwin Hughes
Year: 1887
County or Borough: Kensington and Chelsea
Ward or Division/Constituency: South Division
Street address: 83 Princes mews
Reference Number: MR/PER/B/127
All this certainly adds evidence to the idea that the two children I am trying to trace (one my Grandmother) were adopted but unofficially I suppose.
