Those who have some chabad in the family. Like my niece who's gramdmother was chabad though her grandfather wasn't and the minhag passed mother to daughter.

My mother became a Baalas Teshuva through both Chabad and Bobov (Rebbe Naftuli came to my parents wedding), and asked her Bobov "family" about lighting candles at age 3.
Apparently, her source said that "in the alter heim" all the chassidish groups did it, but only Lubavitch kept it in America.
So, with those influences in mind, my mother taught my sisters and me to light as young girls. I was the only non-Lubavitcher in my mixed-but-mostly-yeshivish OOT class to light on school Shabbatonim and such.
That being said, my sister went to a Bobov sleepaway camp as AFAIK none of the young girls there lit...
Ah, the life of a bas-BT-cholent-of-minhagim kid 
Love you, Mommy

I know this is not exactly what you're asking but practically speaking- everyone did until there was a psak during financially dire times that last pennies shouldn't be spent on candles for girls, and the candles of the woman of the house is bedieved enough for the house.

Certain rebbish families do.
I am from the Twerski family and the girls in our family start lighting 2 candles when they are bas mitzvah.

Very interesting. I don't know anyone in Bobov whos girls light. But someone ipthread mentioned Rabbi Twerskys family and it just so happens that Reb Shloima Halberstam (Reb Naftulas father) were cousins with the Twerskys. I was in sleepaway camp with many Bobover Rebbish grand daughters as well as Twerskys and none of them lit either .

False false false. Not all heimishe or chassidishe did it in Europe. If anything, less.

All the viznitze rebbishe girls light candles. I don't know where it comes from. The Bobove rebbishe girls do NOT light. I guess it's got to do with their yichus.
Chabad girls only light one candle. I didn't know rebbish girls light two.

We light 1 from little, little on, think 2-3yo (holding Mommy's arm), until we are lighting 2 for our household (married or single).
Mind you,I do not add a candle when a child is born unless I missed lighting that week. My girls light 1now as well.
No idea where it comes from.

I heard that Belz grandchildren and those that are distantly related (I guess grandchildren of a Rebbe in the dynasty) light, but it isn't a very strong minhag.

I'm DL and as a kid my school's bat mitzvah gift to the girls was a single candlestick. This was a regular Israeli co-ed mamad elementary school. I lit one candle from bat mitzvah till marriage.
