I know this is an old post, but I have just identified the two girls on the census. They are the daughters of William and Phoebe's oldest daughter Elizabeth. There is a marriage record for Elizabeth Miles and Thomas Beck on FindMyPast 13 Sep 1835 Newington St Mary. Then we have the following records from FamilySearch:
Name: Mary Ann Beck
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 18 Oct 1835
Christening Place: ALL SOULS,ST MARYLEBONE,LONDON,ENGLAND
Birth Date: 24 Sep 1835
Father's Name: Thomas Beck
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C05391-1
System Origin: England-ODM
GS Film number: 580892, 580893

Name: Phoebe Beck
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 17 May 1838
Christening Place: RENFREW ROAD WORKHOUSE,LAMBETH,SURREY,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Thomas Beck
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C06979-1
System Origin: England-ODM
GS Film number: 254505

Mary Ann was born less than 2 weeks after the wedding and Phoebe was christened in a Workhouse. In the 1841 census, Elizabeth is with her aunt Elizabeth (Yerworth or Yarworth) in Gravesend Kent and is mentioned in her aunt's will in 1844. There is a transcrition on-line of the will. I have also found Phoebe Beck aged 12 in the 1851 census living with two aunts Mrs Sarah Harnden and Ann Maria Miles (The FindMyPast transcription is Sarah Hartsden and Phoebe Buk, but the image confimrms this is Phoebe). If these two girls are Elizabeth's, then I wonder if John Miles is also her son.
