Seeking Alice Walters or Walker?

[Bunbury125]

Am having lots of trouble finding Alice Walters or Walker. She is on the 1881 census in Marsh House, Blofield Freethorpe Norfolk with her Grandparents James and Sarah Key.

I cannot find her birth c1869 or discover if she was actually their Granddaughter  or it was just an umbrella term and her relationship was more distant. I can't find her whereabouts in 1871 also I have not found that any of James and Sarah's female children married anyone called Walters/ Walker so I can't make the links in the family tree.
So it's a mystery unless someone out there is a whizz at finding things. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Census image does not say Walters/Waters - ADDED It looks like Walless

Hi
Thanks for your reply I think the 1869 birth looks likely unfortunately this isn't my Susanna as she married
John High Goffin in 1862/3.
I will keep looking though.
Thanks

Not found family 1881 to see if Alice is with them   

EDIT eventually found this family in 1881 under mistranscribed surname
Alice E Waller is with them so not who you are looking for

Hi,
Many thanks for looking. It's certainly a mystery and yes the birthplace clearly says London on the original census as well as the name being g Wallens/Walless. FindMyPast transcriptions are often inaccurate.
I will post if I ever find out who she was.

Regards

Transcriptions should always be checked with the original if it is available.  The good thing with FindMyPast is that if you report the errors they will change them, I have had some done the same day.

Curiously it also has a ditto (Do) for Norfolk as the county of birth.
All those in the ED recorded as born outside Norfolk have a line of some sort through their place of birth. Made later on by a clerk (and not on Alice's entry)

Where is Emily, daughter of James and Sarah Key, in 1871? Not at home with parents.
Born 24 June 1849, baptized at Freethorpe in July
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-RXLZ-L?i=218&cc=1823613

She is living with Henry George Dawes, in Islington in 1891.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:3BC2-NMM

Had a daughter Sarah in 1887. They marry at All Saints, Battle Bridge, 2 May 1898.
Bachelor and spinster, her father James Key (deceased) Farm Laborer

In 1881 in Islington, Henry G Dawes has a wife Emily, 33, it seems to say she was born Yorkshire. Two sons. But is this the same Emily?
