I've never accessed a census through GR, but on Ancestry Ellen is stated as born Midlothian, and there is also Alexander aged 1 in 1881.

In 1891 can only find Mary Jane 20 married to Edwin Griffin 22, with sister Ellen A Rankin 16, in Cheadle.

There is a member tree on Ancestry who has Ellen's maiden name as McLhan, there is a marriage in March 1870 Manchester of Ellen LcLhan and Alexander Rankin. The Ancestry tree has his parents as William and Jane Rankin both born Ireland.

In 1861, Alexander is with parents William and Jane and some siblings - I assume you have those. Also in 1851. Both in Cheetham, Manchester.

Birth of Alexander Sep 1848 Manchester.

Hope that's of help, but like you I can't find the family in 1891 or later, nor any deaths.

I am looking for ancestors :- Rankin on the 1891 census in Cheadle, Stockport, Cheshire.
On the 1881 census they are:-
Alexander Rankin HEAD 32 born Manchester Joiner
Ellen Rankin Wife 31 born Edinburgh? (I doubt)
Mary Jane Rankin Daug 10 b Liverpool (but married in 1890)
Ellen A Rankin Daug 6 born Stockport
Caroline WRankin Daug 4 " "

Nothing is coming up for any of them on this GR site in 1891
I am particularly interested in where Ellen / Eleanor is born in Scotland...
I would really appreciate a bit of help.. Thankyou
