The 1891 census ("widower") implies that Margaret died before then and was probably the mother of the children up through Annie. Because there was no son Alfred in 1891, he and some of the remaining children might be of Frances and an earlier partner.

Floyd Handsor's files have a list of children completely different except for Margaret/Maggie and Charles, whose mother he reports as Margaret Handsor.
