I think she has been found.

I also wonder where the haugh came from and whether I should have that
included in the other name mentioned here...

Thanks

Beatrice Little b. 1871 Uppingham Rutland
she is at the home of her aunt in the 1911 census in
Kensington London and single. Job not listed.
Just wondering what may have happened to her.
Not easy to find as the name is fairly common.
Thanks in advance...
