She could be one of the two Lydia Wheelers registered in the Romford District in 1891.
In 1901 there is a 10 year old Lydia, shown as born Barking, living at 12 Liddington Road, West Ham, with parents Thomas & Eliza and siblings, Edith, Annie, Clara and John.

I think I have with your help found them got a Thomas Wheeler married to a Eliza Mepham in 1889 in Romford Essex its the Mepham conection was trying to make the found Thomas and Eliza in 1891 and 1901 census still in essex so think they are the right ones trouble s cannot find the marrage in the London list on Ancestry which could give me the parents so will have to go searching.

yes 1871 census you have them what I am trying to confirm is that this is the same Eliza Mepham that married Thomas Wheeler that I found married in 1891 as found Lydia Wheeler in 1911 census liveing with John and Caroline Mepham says she niece so think her mother could be a sister to John Mepham he had a sister Eliza Mepham christine

Lydias marriage certificate will confirm fathers name and the witnesses maybe relatives.
