Thank you - as far as I can see, Juniper Hill does not figure in any of the enumerators descriptions for those parishes -- nor anything that might be mis-read / mis-heard as such. The children do not 'obviously' appear in the GRO birth indexes - so working out who Fanny's really is will take more detective work !! I am sure it can be 'solved' -- and I 'like a challenge' ! Thank you all for your suggestions -- I will post the outcome in due course. Peter

Thank you all for your suggestions -- in the end, a chance was taken that I had identified the right children in the GRO, and so a birth certificate was ordered -- the parents names both matched, so that looks very likely to be correct (More work to 'prove' it needed !). Following back Fanny's line, came to a census entry in Cottisford, Oxfordshire - the family later living at Kegworth on the Leics / Derbys/Notts border area. Following that back, the particular family were living in the part of Cottisford parish called ...... Juniper Hill ! This is not 'absolute' proof of a match -- but looks 'very likely' -- and if so, means that both the 1891 census ( clearly saying Derbyshire) and 1901 census (possibly saying Leics - it is a bit faint) have the wrong county.
So - those who suggested the hamlet near Brackley were correct -- and (until proven otherwise !) there is no Juniper Hill in Derbyshire.
It is helpful to have the 'thoughts of others' -( "two, or more, heads are better than one", etc)- but you 'never know' "which" piece of the evidence is wrong, to therefore ignore, until 'further down the line' !!!! Peter

For the handful of people who don't know, Juniper Hill OXF is Lark Rise - as in Flora Thompson's semi-autobiographical novels and the TV soap.
