Hmmm...  I'm not so sure now, because I've just found this birth which matches "Mary E":

Births Dec 1882  (>99%)
LEE    Mary Elizabeth        
Stamford 7a 331

Was she definitely Mary Ellen?  Do you have her marriage cert, which would give her father's name?

Tried "Mary Helen" - bingo!

Births Mar 1884   (>99%)
LEE   Mary Helen       
Stamford 7a 344

Now why isn't she showing up on census....?

1) She might be married
2) she moved to a different part of the country
3) she was mistranscribed
4) she was misenumerated eg Leigh not Lee
5) she was missed altogether
6) she'd moved away from home and was a servant somewhere
7) which censuses can't you find her on?
