>From the Ancestry/LMA records I see there is a baptism for a Tryphena Sparrow on 9 Apr 1874 at St Paul Clerkenwell. A birthdate is given of 20 Jan 1863, and the address is 26 Little Sutton St. The father is unnamed as noted as Dead, and the mother is Elizabeth. Another entry on the same page does name a father even though he is also noted as dead. A baptism at age 11 is not so unusual, perhaps she was about to go to work, be an apprentice or even go to school. Cannot identify her in 1861.

Thanks... I had looked up this record but couldn't read it properly. cheers Sheila >From the Ancestry/LMA records I see there is a baptism for a Tryphena Sparrow on 9 Apr 1874 at St Paul Clerkenwell.
