Stepney 1891

[Kissimmee]

Desperate to find this young lady with her parent in 1891 to see where she fits in with my family tree.  In 1901 she is with her grandmother but at this moment I haven't a daughter of the family to whom she could belong.
In 1891 she would have been
Sophia Lamb age 7 and born Stepney
 In 1901 she is in Mile End

Hope someone can help solve this problem
Many thanks

What detective work Joe,
I had really given up on this young lady.
I am sure that it is her parents especially with a child named Ambrose.  If Mary was the daughter she had a brother Ambrose.  
Really a good result.
Many thanks for following this one through.

Hope that you get back to looking at my page Joe. Thanks for working so hard on this one Joe would never have solved it without your help and the help of others on Rootschat who got me to this stage.
While you were searching further I found a birth for Mary Banks 1857 St George which is where her siblings were born.  I guess that grandma had a spare bedroom and Sophia just happened to be sleeping there each time the man came to do the census.
Thanks again
