Hmm,

Unsure but one never knows?

A bit soon after being widowed but could this be Margaret E remarrying using Marg E but mistaken for Mary E, Jun qtr 1930 Swansea;

Mary E Koepkie to David L Hopkins

Vol 11A, Pg 2212, Line Number 149

Hi Octavio60,

Is this your family in the 1881 census ?
                                                       
Ezekiel 26 dock labourer
Jane.   28
Margaret E A 4.     All born Swansea
Emily Jane. 2
Florence A 1

Mysydd St
Found on familysearch

If this is the correct family Ezekiel married Jane Harris 1876 in Swansea - freebmd
Margaret E A born June 1877
Florence A   Born June 1880

Possible death for Florence A  March 1963 Swansea aged 82yrs

Also, if the marriage that Rosinish posted is correct

Margaret E A Hopkins death Dec. 1946 Bridgend aged 69yrs
David L Hopkins death Mar. 1969 Bridgend aged 81yrs this would make him about 11 years younger than Margaret but still a possible.
 
Can't find any trace of either sister in Scotland

Wonder if there is a Scottish connection through their mother.

Yeh, saw that, thought it would be the right family. I just wasn't sure if Ezekiel and Jane were the family we were looking for.
