She isn't at 15 Orkney St., Battersea in 1881 - it's a family called Hayward.

That is odd, that is the address I've got written down but when I checked my print out, no address is shown. Her daugther was at that address in 1891. Her name was Catherine Timms born 1838 in Qubec Canada although she lists her place of birth as Westminster for some reason.

Ah, they're at 15 Henley Street, Battersea, in 1881. I just wanted to check what it said for Elizabeth's birthplace on there and it does say Wales - Cardigan Town.

Hmmm, there is an Eliza Howell listed in 1871, age 60, charwoman born Cardigan, who has a granddaughter Eliza M Simms age 12 born Paddington, which matches with the Timms' eldest daughter on the 1881. I wonder if it could be her? The Timmses don't have their daughter Elizabeth with them in 1871.

Address is 8 Gt Smith St., Westminster
RG10/119 folio 39 p 28.

Oh wow Kate, that is fantastic! I am fairly sure that will be right as Stowell can be mistranscribed as Howell. She was living in Westminster in 1848 when her husband died, so the area is right. I have tried to find her on the census loads of times brfore without success, so this is fantastic!
