Buckinham is an interesting possibility for Buki. How about Buchi? This residence looks more like a "dress lodging" with women of "independant means". Emily Buchi would be 20 in 1888. She was a visitor in a lodging house with her aunt in 1891 and in 1901 turns up as a servant to Oxford University Publisher Henry Foude when King Edward was Head Steward.

Buchi is another interesting possibility, yes.

Thanks, Karen.

My first impression was that "Buki", by its spelling, indicates a long u like in Italian. I don't know why the newspaper would spell it that way if it was a short u like in Bucky. Although Emily Buchi does change her name to Bucke in subsequent censuses.
