I was looking in 1871 too for the little girl to see who she was with but no luck.  Bit of an odd one isn't it.

When did she marry someone else?

I have her in 1871, married with children, think she married in 1868 to a Barrett. 
I'm starting to think the marriage just didn't happen for whatever reason.  The banns are in a Church of England church and I know they were roman catholic.  Mixed faith marriages did happen obviously, but it was rare (from my experience in family history) for the catholic to go to CofE, especially when it was a female.

Does she have Mary Jane with her or just younger children?

If you have the certificate showing her as a widow can you confirm her fathers name?
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Mary Jane was baptised C o E - not Catholic - doesn’t seem to fit.
I can’t see a McGrath/Barrett marriage.
