I'm 99.9% sure it's Morton. If she needs to have a different name, might she have been widow something-else, earlier and had another marriage you are as yet unaware of?? Merry

This may be a weird coincidence, but there is an Elizabeth Morton living in Elswick Northumberland who is the right age in the 1891 census. Ref RG12/4195 f18 p30 I can't make the name anything but Morton either. Roger
