Even with a supposition that she would be near Stockton, that is quite something to ask (and she might have been across the Tees in the North Riding of Yorkshire!). Your search needs to be much more focussed. The best way of beginning would be to purchase the CD called ENOCH (Eighteen Ninety One Census Search) from Cleveland FHS. It indexes the 1891 census for the whole of South Durham and North Yorkshire. Its limits are, to the north, a line from Hartlepool to Bishop Auckland and, to the south, a line due west from Whitby.
