Address for 1871 Census should be Platte Saline . I'm assuming that you are certain of her birthdate so if that is the case this appears to be her in the 1881 Census:

Name: Elizabeth Ball
Age: 29 
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1852 
Relation: Servant (Head) (Servant) 
Gender: Female
Where born: Alderney, Guernsey, Channel Islands
 
Civil Parish: Kensington 
County/Island: London 
Country: England 
 
Street address: 12 Sheffield Gdns
Education:
Occupation: Cook

Registration district: Kensington 
Sub registration district: Kensington Town 
ED, institution, or vessel: 9a 

Household Members: Name Age
Elizabeth Ball 29 
Maggie Lewis 24 
 
My guess is that perhaps her father was on Alderney either in the military or to do with the construction of the breakwater at the time of her birth.
