Elizabeth Mally 24 Lodger, UNMARRIED <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
If Elizabeth Mally is indeed Elizabeth Macey, which could be feasible, my guess is that she invented a husband for respectability, when the birth was registered.
Who registered the birth?
The child's stated parents seem to be a mish-mash of Elizabeth's own surname as the father's name, Jane Harris's maiden name, and Charles Harris's first name.
Maybe Charles Harris was the father??

He was a ground labourer when Jane was born.
The address on her birth cert is 4 Middle Street.
I've scheduled the Harrises from 1841 through to 1911.
On the 1871 census there is an an "Elizabeth Mally" aged 24 which I suspect is a mis-described Elizabeth Macey.

What was Charles Macey’s occupation?
What was the address on the birth cert?
Have you looked for the Harrises in censuses before 1881?

My great grandmother was Jane Macey, born 9th November 1871 to Charles Macey and Elizabeth Crawley. I have her birth certificate which was handed down.
She seems to have been informally adopted from birth or shortly after by Charles Harris and Jane Harris, nee Crawley, shown as "daughter" on the 1881 census and in adulthood was known as Hannah Jane. The 1939 Register confirms I have the right connection with the exact same DoB.
Charles and Jane were married in Hackney on 1st June 1846
I have been unable to find proven birth details, c. 1847, or a marriage for Charles and Elizabeth, which would have been late 1860s or very early 1870s and after Jane's birth they seem to have vanished.
I guess that Elizabeth (Crawley) was daughter or niece of Jane but once again, lack proof.
The Harrises lived at 4 Middle Street Shacklewell.
Any filling of gaps would be appreciated.
