Do you know exactly when Ernest was born, Dusty? There are these in West Ham. If he happens to be the last one, it's when they started putting mother's maiden name. This one is Goode.

Just out of interest, Dusty, my grandmother was also a Lizzie. When I started doing family tree I naturally looked for Elizabeth. Couldn't find any records until I found out that she was always Lizzie and never Elizabeth.
This must be your Lizzie but I can't find her on the 1901 census.
