At the risk of repeating some answers, here goes again ...
JAP Thank you for asking the questions clarifying the queries.
I’m sorry to keep going back to this family, but they are one of the few that hopefully at least one of the members have been brought through to 1901 and so have the chance of making a living connection.

Where is Hugh Moody ROBERTSON (b 1869) in 1871 and 1881?
No “Moody” Robertsons of any variations showing up in 1871 or 1881.
1871
Hugh M Robertson in West Derby born Liverpool 1869, son of Hugh M Robertson born Cheshire. (probably in West Derby Union Workhouse School in 1881)
Hugh Robertson born Stepney approx 1865, son of Alexander and Eleanor.
No death record found.
Is there any other family in the 1871 census (apart from the family we already have) that could be the Charles and Alice who married in 1863, and had Hugh Moody in 1869 and perhaps Ellen Emily in 1864?
Not that I have been able to find.
We have a possible death record for Charles Macrae between 1871 and 1881 but what about Alice ROBERTSON?
I think we may have had this before, not sure – based on the age in 1861 Alice Robertson Deaths Age 35 June qtr 1873 West Derby Lancashire 8b 218. The Charles McCree I found, age 43 March qtr 1877 Wirral Cheshire 8a 309 was presumed because of son Charles moving to Birkenhead – I know this was in the 1891 census, with Jessie Brownlow but it was the only thing I could think of and also finding Lilias in school in Cheshire in 1881.

Has anyone seen the actual image? Might the ages have been wrongly transcribed?
Image already on page, dubious for Charles
Has anyone found Statutory Register birth entries for Helen (or for an Ellen Emily), Agnes M, and Lilias?
Also a rather dubious possibility for Lilias Robertson:
Mar qtr 1868 - ROBERTSON Lilies Mile End 1c 614

Are the people we've picked as Alice jnr, Helen, Agnes and Lilias really the same as the people in the 1871?
That’s the six million dollar question, but apart from Lilias being separate from the others, the coincidence of names seems overwhelming.
possible Statutory Register marriage entry for a Charles JOHNSON and an Alice
only the unlikely one for Alice Duffy 1852 Cathedral, Manchester.

Also, this Alice was born in Liverpool by virtue of the 1871 census yet the Alice mentioned as marrying Charles Macrae Robertson is thought to be baptised in Stepney. Obviously this is possible but is it likely?
I think this refers to Alice the daughter not Alice the mother.
1. Alice Maud Johnson b 1/10.1860 C 27/5/1861 St Peter Liverpool 1861 census says 6 months, born Stepney. Just because she was christened in Liverpool doesn’t mean she was born Liverpool.
2. JOHNSON Alice Mary Dec qtr 1859 - Stepney 1c 514 – this would make her over 1 year old in 1861 so not ours.
