Lost between Whittington/Swadlincote/London and Shalbourne

[SmallTownGirl]

I have 2 young ladies both with the surname POCOCK. Ann Elizabeth Pocock born 1879 Swadlincote, (aka Annie Eliza) and Eliza Annie Pocock born 1879 Whittington.  Registration district for both - Chesterfield, but only 1 registration exists, Dec.Q 1879 7b 650.

[Pedant alert]

The registration district for a birth in Swadlincote in 1879 would be Burton-upon-Trent, not Chesterfield. 

[Pedant alert off]

If you know that the one b.1879 was illegitimate, would she necessarily have Pocock as a surname, or might she be listed under a different surname?

Sorry about the delay, computer went 'kaput', just sneaking some time on my other halfs'.

Reason I'm pretty sure she was illegitimate - 1881 census she is listed with her grandparents under the name Pocock.  On a later census she is living with her newly married mother, but is listed as a visitor.  Grandparents didn't have any other children of age to have had her.

When I looked up the registration district, pretty sure I saw Chesterfield for both. It probably changed and I missed the date of change.  Sorry about that.

Once again thankyou all for your help

On a later census she is living with her newly married mother, but is listed as a visitor.

If you are referring to the 1891 census - have you read my earlier replies?  In 1891 she is shown under her mothers married name of Miller and shown as daughter
