I believe this is my 2 x gt aunt staying with her mother's cousin and his family in 1891:

1891 England Census
about Eliza Lewis
Name: Eliza Lewis
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Relation: Boarder
Gender: Female
Where born: St Albans, Hertfordshire, England

Civil Parish: St Albans
Ecclesiastical parish: St Alban
Town: St Albans
County/Island: Hertfordshire
Country: England

Street address:

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Education:

Employment status: View Image

Registration district: St Albans
Sub-registration district: St Albans
ED, institution, or vessel: 9
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Alice E Lewis 11
Eliza Lewis 20
Elizabeth Lewis 44
Fred R Lewis 3
Harry Lewis 14
Maud L Lewis 8
Richard Lewis 52
Sidney W M Lewis 2
Lizzie Smith 23

As far as I know, she was the eldest of 5 illegitimate children born to Selina Lewis.

I can not find her in 1901. There are only a few possibilities for Eliza's born in St Albans between 1869 - 1872 on the 1901 census even taking into consideration she most probably got married.

I can't find any matching marriage between an Eliza Lewis and one of the possible Eliza's born St Albans between 1869 - 1872.

I hope this all makes sense! Any help would be fantastic,

Have you found a birth ref for her? Unlikely, but just a thought - marriage:

Alice Eliza M Lewis 1897 Jul-Aug-Sep Barnet Greater London, Hertfordshire, Middlesex
