In the 1881 census, there is only one John FRANKLIN born about the right time in Berkshire, but he was born in Slade End, just to the north of Cholsey.

According to baptism register, her parents are Charles & "Elizabeth," but she is named with parents and siblings in the 1871 census, so I assume the vicar made a mistake when he was entering the details.
