Hi Bob,
You could try, but the 1841 census was taken in June, a whole year after she
was born. It was unusual for people to be in the workhouse for so long,
although they just may have been back in there.
You can look at all the census returns at the Family Record Centre,
otherwise the Centre for Kentish Studies in Maidstone should have the whole
county.
It might be worth checking any 1851 indexes for that area as well.
Good luck
