Hi, hope someone can help locate Eleanor (Ellen) Kerr in 1891 please. She was born Cleator Moor 1870, father William (c1835 Scotland) and they should be in Barrow in Furness in 1891, but her mother Christina is dead by then. She has a sister Elizabeth born 1874 Barrow, and I can't find her either.

Ellen married John McLean in July 1891, and the address given was 16 Newland Street, Barrow. Trying an address search on FMP does not list this address, it only seems to cover the odd numbers of the street.

She had a daughter registered as Jane Kerr in 1890, who appeared on later census as Jane McLean. I can find the family on all other census, but not 1891. So any help greatly appreciated!
