This looks like Lilian

1901 / 820/ 17/ 8
3 Mabel Cottages Hengrove (or Kengrove) Garlinge
Frederick Smith head 27 yrs Shepherd b Worth
Mary Smith wife 27 yrs  b Stowting
Lilian May Coveney niece 7 yrs b Hythe

I was wodering if Edith was the illegitimate daughter of Mary but perhaps not.
Mary married June quarter 1896

Here is a possibility- have you looked at this information?

Arthur Coveney married Edith Harris in 1892.
There is a death for Edith in 1900.

In 1901 Arthur is a widower with Matilda 2 yrs and Gladys 1 yr.

This is the aunt and uncles marriage,so maybe the girl's were the daughters of Mary's unmarried sister?

Thank you for the replies. Yes think I will have to order her birth certificate. Yes Heywood I was thinking that may of been her with her grandparents. If they has just been visiting that day as apposed to living with them would that be noted on the census? So in 1901 Edith and Lilian were in separate places? I've read an article from a Thanet newspaper reporting on Edith's marriage to Stephen Twyman in 1911 where it says that Edith was given away by her Uncle so I'm assuming her father wasn't about anymore, no mention of her mother either, although there are a few Mr and Mrs Coveney's listed in the congregation. Can't think why her father wouldn't give her away if he was there

From looking at the 1881 census  ,  it  seems that  Mary  is the  only   girl ,  with  2  older brothers and younger  one also
