Oh that is interesting, and that would make her around 7 months for the April 1901 census. I will try some different variations for the other siblings names. I have also seen McPeak recorded as 'McPake'

Thank you

Florence Isabel Richardson was born in Jhansi, Norwestern Provinces, India 4 March 1899. After leaving India she was living in Woolwich, Kent, and Chelsea, London where her mother died 13 October 1901. Not exactly and orphan because she had a father (who kept her brother when he married again). She is on the 1911 Census living at the St. John the Baptist Mission House, Oakfield House, Newport, Monmouthshire. She marries in West Pelton, County Durham 26 July 1919 and dies in Pelton, 13 April 1981. She is an example of a child who was not in an institution close to her remaining family. And a person who eventually arrived in an area far from the South of England and far from Monmouthshire.

Did this get resolved?  If she is the Rose McPeak I have found on the 1901 census, then she has 7 older siblings.  I would check the 1911 census for all of them, and you will probably find Rose and a few of the other younger children living with one of the older children.
