Hi Adrian, It is "Fanny Watte" in Findmypast. I have deciphered some of the "Occupation" field as "Cook, Housemaid." I can't work out the other word. I think the place of birth could be something like "Pewsxxx" or "Lewsxxx". Possibly Pewsey although there is a "Lewes" in Wiltshire. I have edited the original census to make it a bit clearer, I can send if you like but it's still difficult to read. Jeannemarine.
