I'd missed Jane Gerhold b 1855 off the tree, although her baptism is on familysearch, because at the age of five she is a lodger, with an apparently unrelated woman in Plaistow.
In 1871, aged 16, she is again with unrelated people. She is given no trade and has no relationship to the head of household.
Her son John was born in 1879 in Gravesend and subsequently adopted.
From 1881 she is living with her married sister, Martha. On one census she is shown as living on means, but she never has an occupation.
There is never anything written in the final column, but do you reckon she was simple? It seems so odd that she should not be with her family while she was a child.
