The 'St' against Lily's name is in a different hand, and looks to be some sort of note added after the census was taken Reg

Hi Both Thanks for trying I think I've been round the bend and on my way back!!!!!! Do you think they could be on a part of the census thats missing? I've just looked on the 1891 again and by the side of Lily it says Dau and then where her occupation is it says ST, do you think that it could mean she was Edwins Step Daughter? Running out of ideas any suggestions? Cheryl x
