Hi the only birth on Freebmd I could locate was for a LILAS Gilchrist Durham March 1842 Bermondsey v4 page 15 or on same ref a Lilas Sandilands Durham, on the 1851 census she is born Southwark, but with different parents from those you show?
Can you supply the 1851 with parents Robert K A Durham and Sarah?

The "Linas" you mention is on the census in 1851 HO107; Piece: 1560; Folio: 272; Page: 36 but not with the parents you give.
FindMyPast has her transcribed as Lilias, which I think could be the Lilia Sandelands that keyboard found.

It's a very strange entry on the original birth register with both names.

Same family in 1861
RG 9; Piece: 295; Folio: 48; Page: 4 Mile End Old Town

Anna Durham 12 Bermondsey

Robert Keith Archibald Durham died in 1842 so won't be on the 1851 census.
He married Sarah Rotten in 1805.
Might have to have a look at all their children to see if rosieblossoms is referring to someone else.
-
There's an 1842 baptism for her but parents are noted as William James & Margaret.

Might be wise to wait for rosieblossoms to come back and reply.
I had a look at her posts and she has related topics, no point in duplicating effort at this stage.
