If anyone can post up links to the census entries, it would be greatly appreciated! I still haven't got my ancestry sub sorted out!

I quite enjoyed this one but (perhaps I'm being a bit prissy) thought her amused reaction to the discovery that Elizabeth was a brothel keeper was a bit shallow. She seemed to think this made Elizabeth a marvellous woman.
I don't deny that she was strong and a survivor, but at what cost to the women who used her premises? Prostitutes generally had a very short life and let's not forget that many prostitutes were children. This was definitely glossed over and she was made to seem a clever entrepreneur. OC

Yes, and her young granddaughters were living with her at 9 Shepherd Street!

They didn't mention whether Elizabeth left anything to her three daughters, did they?

L enjoyed it but was shouting at the tele when it was automatically assumed that Rosa was Lewis's daughter because she had the same surname! Hadn't they heard of unmarried mothers?

I thought the same, Lynn. They didn't say who was the parent of the two grandchildren on the earlier census, did they? Edit - found it and they have a different surname from her and are children of one of her married daughters, so not to worry!

This looks like Lewis in 1861; he is Son of head of household but the head isn't there, so I'm guessing this was another of Elizabeth's properties. And Lewis is unmarried on this one:

I also wondered how they knew that Rosa LIVED with her grandmother and wasn't just staying the night!

In 1851 Rosa is a visitor with a family called Fisher:
