Have you got her death certificate? That should give you the name of her husband. Trice is a local name.
I think the parish records in the library only go up to the 1950s and the cemetery records I have only go up to the 1940s, so it is possible that you would have to do an extended search of the BMDs at the FRC or on Ancestry to locate a second marriage if she re-married late in life.
The fact that she was living in the Alms Houses (Mary Hougham?) in the 1950s and 60s would seem to indicate that she was a widow, so it may be that she married - perhaps a widower in the same place - and set up home with him elsewhere.
Regarding the children being sent to Scotland - were either George or Maud born in Scotland? Many Marines were of Scottish origin; it may be that the children were sent to live with their grandparents either when war broke out or when their father was killed.
