Ah, that makes sense - it may have been his (step)father-in-law.
This part of the story I do know!
She remarried to a James Reeve in 1894 and moved to East Winch and she has 2 children with him by 1901. She then marries again in 1903 and has another 3 children.
It would be Eana who was stepdaughter
It seems Eana's Mum had only been married c. 4 years at time of 1891 census
