Generally, 1890 census is considered not available because most of it was destroyed by a fire. I cannot find her on the 1900 census but by then she may have married. Have you tried tracing her siblings? There are State of Michigan censuses for 1884. The Detroit Society for Genealogical Research (DSGR)'s quarterly magazine has transcriptions for some of the Wayne County townships & villages. I don't remember if Ecorse has been done yet. I don't know if there are any of the 1894 censuses for Wayne County. If you live in the Metro Detroit area, the censuses are available at the Burton Historical Collection (BHC) of the main Detroit Public Library and also at the Library of Michigan in Lansing. I looked at the FamilySearch test website but didn't see anything. You might want to try searching there. I don't know if they have all the Michigan records digitized yet. http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home She could have married and moved out of state. Many people moved out west for the land that was available. My gggrandmother moved to Kansas in 1880 with her second husband and 7 of her 11 children.
