Possible mis transcribed
Grice could be listed as Gice Grive or many other variations.

Try just a first name, year and place of birth and see what comes up.

I had this with a relative her surname was Sell, found her in this way and she and rest of family were listed as Loll !!!

Sometimes you have to think 'outside of the box' :-D

I see they were living at 119 Gloucester Road, not 192, at the time of Caroline Eliza's baptism.

I found this address on 1891 census on Ancestry but the family was not there.

Moonbeam, you are quite right so I'm now off to specsavers.

One thing I did notice was that John's occupation has changed from laundreyman on their marriage to carman on that baptism.

MarieCeleste, I noticed that too but I see that on the 1901 Census he is a Laundry Carman. Maybe he delivered the laundry.
