i'm trying to find Ellen Parry (nee Roberts), I have looked on the 1881 census but havnt been able to find her. I'm hoping to find her living at home with parents as a child to discover the ages of her siblings and parents.

she is on the 1891 census here : RG12/4660 28 16


as Ellen Roberts age 35 born Islington, London married to Robert Parry also 35

Margarent
John

Mary Roberts, widow, 57, b. Montgomery Wales, Housekeeper
John, son, 27, b. Shoreditch, Builders Foreman
Ellen, dau, 25, b. ditto, Costumes (Manageress)
Catherine, dau, 23, b. Islington, Mantles (Saleswoman)
William Rus, son, 21, b. Shoreditch, Joiner (presumably is 'William Rees'?)
Grace, dau, 20, b. ditto, Mantles Saleswoman

Margaret Jones, dau, 28, b. Shoreditch
