Find Ancestors

This lady was my Granny in London Greenwich. I hope someone can help find some more information about her. She was a Foundling. Told she was left on a Railway Station and that is where the birth date comes from. Then brought up by Nuns.
I can't find her in 1901 but in 1911 she is in Catford working as a Servant aged 25 at 166 Wellmeadow Road, Hither Green, Catford S E working for the Hopkin Family. My Grandfather's Family lived in Catford also. They meet and married 4th March1919 in Lewisham after he had been in the War. Is there any way I can find out about her being found or where she grew up? I would love to know more about her and been looking for a long time. One my Uncle's looked (Her Son) but is gone now. She was a Lovely Lady and I would like to know more about where she did come from. Can anyone help please?

You can check the newspapers on here or search for free on the British Newspaper archives. The result san come out as gobbledygook but as you have a date it might be well worth a look.
