Hello Jayne and welcome to the forum.

Could this be your Mercie (different spelling of first name, but that quite often happens):

If you order Mercy's birth certificate, it should provide the details of where she was born, the names of her parents, plus her father's occupation. This should then help you to track them down in the 1901 census.

The details that I provided above should enable you to order the certificate online here: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Good luck :)
