Thanks Peter,
On the 1881 she is listed as Maria Mayson born c1843 in Luton Cheshire, a mariners wife living in Everton Liverpool.
However, as there is no place Luton in Cheshire, we ordered a paper copy of the census and the place can be read clearly as Sutton.
Maria's marriage certificate (3/10/1872 St Philip's Church Liverpool) lists her father as Robert Williams, Farmer, and her age as "full". She married Richard Mayson, mariner (another brick wall, but that's another story).
Her sister Harriett Williams is listed on the 1881 as age 56 born parkgate cheshire, living with her neice Alice Mayson (maria's daughter) a Sarah Jub (relationship other) who is seen on a later census with Maria's daughter Alice Maud Mayson.
We have only found Maria on the 1881 census.
Hope that gives you a little more to work on.
