Do you have her on the 1901 census - to cross-check the place of birth? Also, what other info do you have confirming her birth year and that she doesn't have a middle name?

Just wish I could find the family on 1901 census may give some more leads, but I've tried various computations of their names with no luck on FMP. Maybe someone else on here can find them on Ancestry?
