this looks a possible though ages and places of birth vary, but the 3 daughter are right at least!
1901 4 Folly Lane, Whitchurch, Shropshire RG13/2555 folio 74 pg 20
Isabella Evans head widow 57 licensed hawker b. Staffs, Audley
Harriet dau 15 b. Shropshire, Market Drayton
Rebecca dau 12 b. Market Drayton
Matilda dau 10 b. Cheshire, Holt
Isabella Iverson(?) 7 b. Shropshire, Whitchurch
not sure about Isabella's surname and I've no idea what the relationship to the head is. Don't think it's visitor, definitely not grand anything, possibly niece?

Thanks osprey, that`s the right family, interesting to see Isabella gives pob as Audley and not Oswestry, perhaps she did`nt know herself !
