We are awaiting the 1921 census with baited breath.

We think that Lillian is actually Emily E Searle born Heyshott, Sussex, aged 11 months on the 1881 census, daughter of Oliver, a limeburner and Mary Ann. (the parish registers were stolen, so we don't know what she was baptised as)
This family is stil at Heyshott Street in 1891, with 6 younger siblings. Several were born in Graffham, so the family presumably moved out and back again.
By 1901 the family has moved to Bepton, with another 5 younger children. Emily is no longer there.

Reasoning for this is a photo of Oliver Searle junior in sailor's uniform - ties up with his records on Find My Past - addressed on the back to "Lily" This is on the assumption, of course, that she was his sister, rather than his girlfriend!
