Hi there everyone.
I wonder if somebody could just check this for me please? I have abandoned Elizabeth for a long time!

I have her 1881 and 1901, as can be seen below. She is a widow 1881. Her 3 sons are accounted for 1891 but I just cannot find her. There is no doubt whatsoever that I have the right Elizabeth.

Many thanks.

Just to add! I don't know if anybody is kindly looking at FMP, and if so no idea if occupations can be used to search, but she is a cook 1881.

Thanks very much everyone. I have all of them on my Ancestry tree (complete with husband/father!) - they were pretty easy to research - but as you see Elizabeth is very elusive in 1891. I can only think she was just missing altogether.
I really appreciate all your efforts in trying to find her, thank you.
