Hi RobinC
FMP has a Lydia 'Budge' at RG11 Piece 1591 Folio 83 Pg 6 (her name is actually on the next page) with the correct birthplace.
A look at the original image looks more like the name 'Bridge'
Cheers
Judyg

Having done a bit more digging, it turns out that Fletton & Stanground are next to each other on the outskirts of Peterborough.
I think Geoffer's idea that Lydia worked at night was correct but she was a "monthly nurse" so was probably at work during the census, I also think that Benjamin is in prison during 1881 for "larceny as servant" which would put the mystery to rest.

i didn't hazard a guess what had happened to her parents, because the o.p. didn't ask for that information, and i know that there are people on here who are far better able to do research, than i am. unless she was listed in an earlier cencus, as a child of any of the people who 'could' be her parents, we are only taking a leaf of faith, or guessing, as to who they might be.
i simply wanted to point out that it was not unheard of for children to be out in the world alone and earning a living. we don't know how easy we have it , do we!
as for the name hebzibah, which is biblical- i use it only because i love the sound of it-- it's meaning is god fearing, righteous, woman ( probably the exact opposite of 'real' me!)
