If so, here's a wild guess at Jane's death:

Deaths Sep 1863 (>99%)
Wilkinson Jane Glanford Brigg 7a 420

Glanford Brigg district includes Barton upon Humber.


EDIT:
but that's probably wrong - she's more likely to have died in Preston or Bridlington - though as George was a hawker, they may have moved around a lot, so she could have died anywhere.

so maybe -

Deaths Mar 1871 (>99%)
Wilkinson Jane 55 Preston 8e 357

Could this be Hannah / Ann's birth? Mother Jane:


Ann Wilkinson
England Births and Christenings
Name Ann Wilkinson
Gender Female
Christening Date 11 Jul 1863
Christening Place St. Luke, Preston, Lancashire, England
Father's Name George Wilkinson
Mother's Name Jane


Have you found George in earlier censuses? I can't see him with the YOB and POB stated in 1871.
I've even wondered about Barton, Lancs (near Preston) being his correct birthplace - but no joy.

Looking for George Wilkinson born in Barton Lincolnshire in 1817 and his daughter Hannah Wilkinson born 1863 in Preston Lancashire. No idea what happened to her mother and have no name for her. 1871 census both living together living in Bridlington Yorkshire....then trail runs cold. I know she changed her name at some point to Annie and married in 1886 in Yorkshire.

Any help gratefully received
