I have the 1891 census for a Mary Massie living in Liverpool, and listed in the household is....Jane Taylor, sister in law.

I know this Massie family are "mine", and therefor assume that Jane Taylor is Mary Massie`s sister.

Jane was born in 1853 in Kirkby, Lancashire and I have been unable to find a marriage for her to someone called Taylor.

Any suggestions please.

Depends on the age of the people.
Inlaw also means Step.

I do know that Mary Massie, nee Mawdsley had a sister Jane born in 1853, so was hoping that the "sister in law" meant just that.

Mary Massie was born in 1851 and her husband George was born in 1842
