According to numerous census reports, the above person was born in St Albans in 1843. She seems to have settled in the Holloway/Islington area. As far as I can see, she never married and worked as a dress maker. She died in Islington in 1917.
Although I can find Anna/Hannah/ in 1861, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911, I can't find her in 1851 or in 1871.
The earliest I can find her is in 1861 in Kingston, Surrey (RG9 455 168 17). She is aged 18 and listed as born St Albans. She is living with an older woman named Ann WALTERS (52), who was born in Ireland. Both are listed as lodgers and there is no indication of their relationship, though I assume they are relatives, possibly mother and daughter.
From other bits and pieces I have picked up, there is a possibility that they are travellers. I also have reasons to believe that she was a Catholic.
As well as filling in the missing census details, I would like to locate her birth/baptism/confirmation.
Any help gratefully received, especially from those with expertise on travellers and/or Catholics.
