Have you considered the possibility that they returned to Ireland?

PLEASE, CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND MY MISSING RELATIVES: My Grandmother's Mother and her sister and "relative"
…….

The history

Manassa Hughes and "X" had Margaret Hughes in 1844ish in Armagh

* Margaret Hughes 1844 and William Stevenson (Steenson) 1853 - 1902 had Mary M Stevenson (25/3/1875) and Margaret Ann Stevenson (2/7/1877-1961) in Armagh.. This Margaret was my Grandmother.
………………

1881 census = family of 4 living in Albert Gardens near Queen's Park, London with widow Ann Hughes (relative)

1891 census = William now living is Liverpool with his "wife" Elizabeth and no sign of Margaret snr. or Mary or Margaret jnr

1901 census = William as in 1891 census. No sign of Margaret Stevenson snr. or Mary M Stevenson or Ann Hughes. By then my Nan is living near Queens Park as a cook in service so she is not a mystery.

1911 census = No sign of Margaret Stevenson snr. or Mary M Stevenson or Ann Hughes. By then my Nan married and shows up with husband and two children
……………………………...
Questions: where have the 3 ladies gone after 1881? I can't find marriages or deaths or anything. I wonder if Margaret snr. married again as she was only 37 or a bit older when William left her to go to Liverpool. Margaret snr. had definitely died by 1931 - probably a long time before, based on a letter my Mum received on the death of her Mum from Margaret jnr.

I think it most likely that they would have stayed in the Kilburn or Paddington area of London. I have searched for a many years but my ideas have run cold. Any help would be much appreciated.
