If in an institution they are sometimes only listed with first initial and surname not full name.

She may also be listed as Betty, Beth, Lizzie etc

Thank you all
There is no record of Elizabeth ever having married Joseph Spraggon.
Elizabeth was born North St Giles in St Giles,Middlesex.
It is really only the 1871 census return which I most need.Elizabeth isn't with her parents,and I can't find her with family members.Surely even if she were in some kind of institution she should show up somewhere,school/hospital for example.

Wendy Report 3 Sep 2013 14:11

Elizabeth Andrews was born 1/05/1864 in 54 Dudley Street,St Giles.The birth certificate says her parents were John Andrews and Mary Andrews,formerly McCarthy.
I need to find Elizabeth in 1871 and 1881.I have found the parents but Elizabeth is not with them on either census.
In 1891 she is living with Joseph Spraggon and three of her children plus sister-in-law Annie Andrews (1870).In 1871 and 1881 Annie is with parents John and Mary but as I said,no sign of Elizabeth.
Please can you help.
Regards
Wendy
