Trying an alternative theory, there is another niece and sibling in Worcestershire in 1881 - Gertrude Beeman aged 12 and her little sister Annie aged 7. If this is the right one, she would be 17 in 1891, and it should just be possible for her to have a 2 year old daughter. Looking at the workhouse returns, it looks less like the transcribed 37, and more like 27 (or possibly even 17). The girl in 1881 is stated to be born at Hill Top Staffordshire, but is living in Dudley by the time she is 7. She might therefore not know her place of birth. |

Looking at maps of the area north of Birmingham, Dudley (in Worcestershire) is due west of West Bromwich (Staffordshire? - yes, historically), and there is Hill Top golf course just east of there. |
