Perhaps you can post the 1861 census that you found her on? The closest one I can see is this one:

1861 England Census
about Mary A Thomas
Name: Mary A Thomas
Age: 9
Estimated birth year: abt 1852
Relation: Granddaughter
Father's name: William Mosgrove
Gender: Female
Where born: Bristol

Civil Parish: Bristol St Philip and St Jacob
Ecclesiastical parish: Trinity
County/Island: Gloucestershire
Country: England


Registration district: Clifton
Sub-registration district: St Philip and Jacob
ED, institution, or vessel: 4
Household schedule number: 78
Household Members: Name Age
Thomas Thomas 70
Elizabeth Thomas 64
William Mosgrove 34
Mary A Thomas 9
Ellen Thomas 6

Although the transcription says that her father is William Mosgrove there's nothing on the original to say that. He is a son-in-law and she is a grandaughter.

Who were her parents?

Have you found them in 1871?

Have you checked freebmd for a marriage/death for her?
