Your great grandmother is listed as

In census 1840: Anne Maria Pedersdatter 6

In census 1845: Ane Marie Pedersdatter 11

I have tried to find her confirmation, but the church book from Nørre
Herlev covering the space of time is not on line. I have reported this
to arkivalieronline.dk.

Normally the children left home right after their confirmation or
sometimes before, especially if they had many siblings. If they were fit
for working, they had to earn their living as soon as possible, as the
parents had their hands full supporting the other children.

I do not know the reasons why Birthe and Jens were at home, but maybe
the parents needed their help. Then there was no need for Ane to stay at
home.

You cannot be sure that she was a foster child, there are many mistakes
in the census lists, she was probably a servant girl.

Best regards,
Arne
