Samantha, I have edited 1881 census to give more details re. magdalen's mother and (presumably) grandmother.
The 4 males are lodgers.

I think the most important cert is madeleine's marriage cert - you need her father's name.

Having said that, if his name is Robert then this will be her father. Just a small ?? re. her 1st name.
