	John - compulsary registration of births didn't come in to effect until 1873. Unitl then it was up to the Registrar to visit the villages to ask if there had been any births and to persuade the parents to register them. Many parents didn't bother or only had their children baptised so that there was an 'offical' record.

	Don't think Eliza Snr. has been found after 1861. As her youngest children were in the workhouse in 1871, it would appear likely that she had died. She herself may have been in the workhouse or even remarried and left the girls in the workhouse until she could offer them a home with her.

	I was thinking of Eliza 1823. I cannot find a death, re-marriage or census record for her. She goes from Eliza Box in 1851 to Eliza Chattenton (check spelling) in 1861 after her husband dies in 1859.

	AustinQ I wonder if that is her, birthplace is wrong and year slightly out. I can find n/t of a marriage between Thomas and Eliza, so maybe they weren't married. Just as a matter of interest The Odd Fellows Arms (still there) and the Dartford workhouse are about 100 yards from each other.
