Have now found the book. There is no indication of her age, however, I
would suspect that the Miss Warren was in the original edition which was
printed in 1909. There is a picture of a class but that is dated 1918 so
would not have been in the original.
Another signal that perhaps she was in the original 1909 edition is the
length of her skirt which appears to be long. I think she looks about 25 -
Rebecca would have been about 42 by 1909 (I know the photo didn't have to
have been exactly that date, but I would have thought that for someone of
that age it would have been a 'current' photo, rather than one which had
been taken years before). But we will probably never know!
There are several other young Warren girls that would fit the age nicely,
but who had no occupation shown on the census. Lacemaking would not
necessarily have been considered an occupation - what is on the census form
is what the person filling it in considered to be relevant. For example,
some put down the fact that the children were students, but few of the Stoke
Goldington returns include that information.
