The 1881 Census on familysearch shows their dwelling as "Brandlesome Road, Prospect Ter, Elton, Lancashire"

After checking this address is would appear to be Prospect Terrace off Brandlesome Road, Elton, Bury. However the address on the Death Certificate for Ann Shaw is Woodhill, Elton, Bury. There was a Woodhill Cottage but another family lived here in 1881.
