Biography
Mary Ann Celia Kelley was born on 27 April 1854 in Clinton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of John J. Kelley and Catherine M. (Eagan) Kelley. She was the firstborn. In most of the census forms her birthplace was shown as New Hampshire, though her birth record shows Clinton, Massachusetts. I am not sure why this is so. Perhaps are parents had lived in New Hampshire. There must be something about it, since New Hampshire is entered consistently starting with the 1865 Massachusetts State census when she was about 11 years old.
Mary did not marry. Presumably she had no children. She lived in Clinton as a child and young adult, in the home of her parents. By 1900 she was living in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. She passed away in Bristol County on 7 January 1938. Details are below. [1]

1890
In 1890, there is no census data. The following was copied from https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/decennial_census_records/availability_of_1890_census.html:
- Most of the census' population schedules were badly damaged by a fire in the Commerce Department Building in January 1921. For more information about the fire, the National Archives published an article, "First in the Path of the Firemen: The Fate of the 1890 Population Census," in its Spring 1996 Prologue.
