HELP - 1901 CENSUS

[MINOR]

The 1901 Census for Houghton le Spring Workhouse includes Ann Bell Clavering, inmate, 86, widow of a coal miner, born in West Herrington.
Try as I might, I can find no other trace of this woman in earlier census'.
Her death is recorded in  June 1902, but where has she been all her life?

I presume you have seen this ANN:

1881

Benjiman CLAVERING   Head   M   Male   67   Tynemouth, Northumberland, England   Coalminer     
Ann CLAVERING   Wife   M   Female   64   Whitley, Northumberland, England       

North Seaton Colliery Cottage
North Seaton, Northumberland, England
RG11/5119 Folio 27

Yes, I had seen that. I am trying to do a one name study on the Clavering family.
According to my records, this Benjamin Clavering married Ann Brown, so the Bell part of the name in 1901 seems out of place with this Ann.

After searching the 1891 census, I finally found Matthew Clavering in Hetton le Hole, with wife Isabella. The entry was transcribed Clausing.
Further checks brought the information that his second wife was Ann Isabella Hepple.
So at last the mystery is solved!
