GRO Reference: 1867 J Quarter in WHITEHAVEN Volume 10B Page 589

Per 1881 census, Eleanor is the daughter of Tamar's sister Hannah, who married John Jardine in 1878.

One of these is Eleanor's birth:

GRO Reference: 1869 J Quarter in WHITEHAVEN Volume 10B Page 571
WILSON, ELEANOR -
GRO Reference: 1869 S Quarter in WHITEHAVEN Volume 10B Page 539

(The other one is in Whitehaven Workhouse in 1871, listed as Ellen, with unmarried mother Elenor and sister Betsey 1864.)


Hannah had another illegitimate daughter, Hannah, in 1874, who is on the 1881 census:

WILSON, HANNAH -
GRO Reference: 1875 M Quarter in WHITEHAVEN Volume 10B Page 620

If Mary A in the 1881 census doesn't seem to be Tamar's sister.

There's this possibility if she's the daughter of one of Tamar's sisters - maybe Hannah again:
