None of the comments so far mention what must be the leading possibility: that she may well not be in the 1901 census.
No census is ever complete. Always a few % missing. She is probably one of them.

I doubt being missing has anything to do with being an adult or not. Possibilities are endless. It just happened.

To give just one example: perhaps she was a suffragette? The suffragettes had an active campaign to boycott the 1911 census.   Of course, the leading explanation is omission due to mischance, or non-compliance.

A lot of the 1901 census is simply missing from the National Archives site.

Forgot we had this thread

where was Maggie by 1911 (not seeing a death/marriage), or is she the 'Mary' listed?

The family seems to be
parents: Michael FINAN and Ann JO(U)RDAN who married on Nov 10 1867

Births/Baptisms to match
1868 Mary - died Nov 26 1950 informant James P McGOWAN
1870 Margaret - died Aug 24 1921 informant her father Michael FINAN
1872 Ellen ?
1874 Cecilia - died Jan 16 1953 informant James P McGOWAN
1876 Anne - possibly died in 1876
1879 Patrick ?

There are census returns for servants named Mary and Ellen which may match these missing siblings in 1901

Francis (Frank) FINAN d Aug 24 1918 Reg#72254 Pte; Sherwood Forresters former Irish Guards
