Also son George is with her

No sign of any of them in 1891....have you checked emigration records?

Perhaps as a glass and china dealer they went abroad a lot for business - perhaps they were away for the 1891 census

I am Looking for Keziah Martin, I came across the 1861 census with Mernah Martin in it.and all the other above records, no I haven't looked at emigration yet. by the way is Mernah and Keziah the same person, if not what happened to Mernah?

When researching one's ancestors, it is essential to realise that mistranscription of records is common....and make allowances for that
