I've updated Esther in green. Two of the three children that she had with John Turbefield were baptised as the children of William House and I had always assumed that they were his. Not sure how to record this in my tree as the children used the name House throughout their lives.

Still can't find her in 1881 nor can I find a burial.

Here is her admission to Hackney Union Workhouse 3 Apr 1882:

Discharged the following day. Next of kin is daughter Caroline Wheeler, 20 Hertford Rd, Kingsland.

And another admission, 11 Jul 1885, discharged 26 Oct 1885 to the infirmary:

Thanks Kite - I hadn't seen those, I always forget the Admission and Discharge Records for some reason. Caroline Wheeler was my 2 x gt grandmother.

I couldn't find Esther on the 1881 census, sorry.

Thanks for looking Kite.
