This could be the family:

1901 Census - 25 Kearsley St, Wigan, Lancs.

Eleanor Wilson Head 43 widow b. Wigan
Peter Wilson Son 21 ditto
Florence Wilson Dau. 17 ditto
George Wilson Son 14 ditto
William Wilson Son 12 ditto
Beatrice E. Wilson Dau 10 ditto
Ethel Wilson Dau 8 ditto
Gertie Wilson Dau 6 ditto
Georgina Wilson Dau. 2 ditto
James Jenkinson Boarder 16

1891 Census - 192a Wallgate, Wigan

George Wilson Head 37 Bricklayer
Eleanor Wilson wife 35
Mary Wilson dau. 15 Cotton Reeler
Margaret Wilson dau. 13 Cotton Spinner
Peter Wilson son 11 Scholar
James Wilson son 9 Scholar
Florence Wilson dau. 7 Scholar
George Wilson son 5
William Wilson son 3
Beatrice Wilson dau. 7 mos.
(all born Wigan)

George appears to have died in Wigan in 1898.
Eleanor's maiden name probably Derbyshire - an Ellen Derbyshire married George Wilson Sept.qtr. 1875 Wigan (checked births and a Eleanor Derbyshire was born 1855 Wigan so think it's same person)

Hope this helps.
