I'd assumed a relative had died between censuses

In the 1891 census she was 1. I'd found another girl with a similar name.
She was
May Elizabeth Flatman
She lived in Banham (Guiltcross)
Her mother was Elizabeth (maiden name unknown)
Father was Arthur
She had a brother Spencer

I'd assumed she was dead before the next census I suppose due to the fact that her Mum dies in 1895, very possibly in labour with a fifth child who also died.

Very likely shes left home - kids were in service at 12 sometimes.

But give us the details. Im surprised that in the first census they would have been 3 years out though, kids normally have pretty accurate ages for obvious reasons! So she is shown as 2 but was 5??? Hmm.

but I can't find her on the death registers between the 1891 and 1901 censuses. I've also discovered she was probably 3 years older than I thought and in the 1901 census would have been 15. Can I assume that she may have left home at that age to go out to wotk do you think?
