Have you found a birth registration for Eva?
From the DOB it should be registered in the March quarter of 1891.
If found you can send for a copy of her birth certificate which will have mothers details on it.

They are proving rather elusive on the census
I have found Leonora pre marriage - with parents in Battersea in 1871, b Clapham c1866. With aunt and uncle in Rhyl in 1881, b London c1866. She and William had a child William in 1886, before they married
