Here is an 1898 one for Richard being sent off to work for Chimney Sweep

The whole family are missing for this one then, they don't appear to be in workhouse/school either all those dates are 93 and on.

i see it mentions Opthalmic hospital, wonder if Rosina had sight problems?

Looks like Emily had sight problems although Rosina could have had them also

Emily record as a Servant sent from the Guardians

This confirms Elaine's post for the 1901 census

If it helps at all in confirming this, one of my great-great uncles (one of emily's sons) was Leonard Wallace Chapman. Maybe the Wallace came from her brother?

Also, and I know this may be a rather tenuous link, but sight problems is an issue with that side of the family.

Looks like Emily found then, and you now have a sibling for her.

1891 census appears to be elusive?

Not sure what else can be found, has this covered your missing gaps?
