You can find lots on the free sites like FreeBMD and Family Search site that has the 1881 census free BUT you will have to use a subs site at sometime in order to get more info like census records

I found it on ancestry will send it to you by private message as her husband may still be alive

It was 1969 if you want to find it yourself she married in the name of Sally though
