Eliza Edwards 1870?, Southwark

[Penguin14]

I would like to find more info about Eliza Edwards born around 1870 in Southwark, London. I have confirmed sources that she was admitted and discharged into Westmore Rd Workhouse, Newington, London when she had Elizabeth Anne Edwards, born in 1906 and I presume ? another child in 1907.
When she was admitted in 1906, aged 36 she was a servant at 99 Lombard St, Southwark, Surrey. Can not find any BMD records at all.

Elizabeth Anne was adopted soon afterwards.

Hope someone can help!!

Hi Penguin,
Found this which maybe or not your Eliza and thought I'd follow it to see where it went...
There is a Eliza Elizabeth Edwards b March Qtr 1870 St Saviour Southwark – London Vol 1d Page 35

And 1871 census closest I can find for St Olave Southwark is this one:

Marriage for Edwin W Edwards Dec qtr 1865 Thanet Kent Vol 2a Page 1429 to Jane Jarrett

Jane Edwards nee Jarrett death June Qtr 1883 age 39 Thanet Kent Vol 2a page 535

Looks like father Edwin remarried just before he died in 1891 Dec qtr Tanet Kent to Jessie Mary Emptage.

Just can't locate Emily J as there are a few - 1 shows in London as a servant on 1901 and a few possible Marriages.

Did you find your Eliza on 1891 and 1901 census?

Thanks for all of that. I will be looking into it further. This is my great grandmother and Elizabeth Ann was my grandmother, like I said who was adopted.
But I have been trying so hard to find out more about this lady, for 3 years now! I did however, recheck one of the four records I do have and found she didn't have another baby. (London,England,Poor Law and guardian record-1430-1930 Pg 301) She was just admitted for some reason but don't understand the discharge order.

Anyway thank's for that. Very much appreciated.
