Eliza Davies nee Cookson help please

[wiilams83]

Hello

I'm looking for more information about my 2rd great grandmother who died in 1971 aged 83 years in Wellington her birth  is Jan 1888.

I'm looking for the census before she married in 1913 to Alfred Cookson (there is no father on the marriage document)

She was 24 time of marriage in 1913 and was born in 1888 in Madeley/ dawley area.

Can anyone help me trace her mother and grandparents please.
 I  would be so greatful.

Nor can I at present?!

A possible for Elizabeth her mother in 1851 census is,

Eliza Davies 29 Single
Elizabeth 3 months Grandaughter
Residing at Portley, Great Dawley
Census Ref HO107/1988/138/19

They are at the top of the original page, but above them is something like Head of family Greathouse?
