Eleanor Corrises nee Killey+Callister

On the subject of duff information on Ancestry trees, someone has got a mix-up between 2 William Corrises who were born circa 1855, both with a mother Eleanor.
So there's the William Henry Corris,bap 29 Oct 1854 Patrick, to William Corris and Eleanor Killey, who appears in the 1861 census age 6, and in the 1871 census age 16, with both parents and a younger brother, Joseph b 1859, which I put in an earlier message.

Then there's William Robert Corris bap 17 June 1855 Patrick, to John Corris and Eleanor, who, with a bit of digging, turns out to be Eleanor Callister. This is their marriage, which conveniently gives ages:

This William R Corris in 1891 is in Dalton in Furness with his mother, Eleanor nee Callister, widow of John Corris, and 2 nieces:

Dalton district 4, page 3
William R Corris head unm 35 iron miner b Foxdale
Eleanor mother wid 72 b Peel
Emily A niece 10 b Foxdale
Eleanor A niece 5 b Foxdale

Then in 1901, here's William R Corris:

Dalton in Furness district 13, page 24

Household Members: Name Age
Thomas Quilliam 59
Catherine Quilliam 55
Eleanor Corris 82
Emily J Kendall 34
Enos Quilliam 18
Edwin C Quilliam 16
William T Rendall 8
William Callister 45
William R Corris 42

Thos Quilliam is head of household b IOM
Eleanor is G mother, with G crossed out, widow b IOM
William R Corris is brother in law unm labourer at shipyard b IOM

The person who submitted the tree to Ancestry has got her Eleanors confused. She's written it as though Eleanor is the widow of William Corris ( and therefore nee Killey, although she doesn't suggest a surname for Eleanor ) But she's submitted Ancestry census pages which in 1891 and 1901 show Eleanor Corris nee Callister, widow of John Corris.

I'm wondering whether this is the burial of Eleanor Corris nee Killey, William's widow:

CORRIS, Eleanor 63 Fox 2 Jan 1883

Does this agree with your information, Gillian ?
