Odd that Martha and Fanny seem to have been registered

So wondering if Sophia was not first name

I must say that I have been looking now for 3 days and have got nothing on her. My Nan was Mary, She only had Mary as a Christian name although everyone called her Polly

there does not seem to be a child called Sophia born, although there is a John, what is going on in this family. Have I been trying too hard to sort it out and missing something??????? :-S

Could the census enumerator have made a mistake in 1881 and Sophia is actually John???

That is what I thought but it seems very odd to get the name and sex of a child wrong.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions and time you have all put in to look for Sophia
