1891 census problem

I have been searching on two popular sites for William R Hooley and his wife Jane in the 1891 census. They have not helped by having three different addresses in that year in the Everton district: Buckingham, Kew and Cornwall Streets. These are from birth/death certs or baptism records.
William was born locally in 1858, Jane in 1861.

Jane is equally elusive in 1911, but William died in 1908.
If any of our residents sleuths can track them down - possible mis-spellings etc - I would be grateful.

There was a foundry in the next street Howe Street c1891 "Alma Foundry". My ancestor was in Buckingham Street in 1901 he was an iron turner. Family Search has this as Buckingham Street and surname as Hovley:-

Thank you both for pointing me in the right direction. The enumerator's writing was not the best, but he must have been tired, going down to all those cellars!
I see there was a pub called the Buckingham Palace nearby, which lasted until 1928.
