could not find a death for an elizabeth bird between 1891-1901 that would fit
there is this 1901 census entry possibly her
1901
RG13/2334/121/.15
thomas saunders age 40. b. stoke st.michael. occ. coal ----?. head
jane saunders age 42. b. coleford. wife
elizabeth bird age 79. b. coleford. lodger(wid)
living at;3,west avenue,twerton,somerset
reg.dist; bath
kilmersdon is a parish within the town of coleford so there is a very good chance this is her

and i would think jane saunders is jane bird her daughter
will see if i can find her marriage

cannot find the marriage
i know thomas and jane were together in 1891 when jane gives place of birth as kilmersdon
and also have jane in 1881 as jane bird working in bath reg dist(unmarried)
so the marriage must have taken place between 1881-1891 probably in somerset
