Have you looked just for a birth of a Margaret or Maggie Bruce as it could be the same situation that her parents never married or were even together especially if her mother took on the name Forbes. Is the only evidence you have for her being born in Glasgow and the dates from the census records? 
Ferguson (st fillans, comrie)
Garnock (lothian, fife)
Valet (london, switzerland)
Butcher (ramsgate, glasgow)
Blackbird (durham,  newcastle)
Barr (ayrshire, ireland)
Fleming (paisley)
Crone, croney ,(dumfriesshire, ireland)

Have you not looked at the original 1891 census?  Maggie CARRIGAN, Charles and the children are in their own section of the census record.  Maggie is the mother of the two ROBERTSON boys and likely Catherine CARRIGAN as well, but obviously can't be the mother of Charles.

.... her only registered occupation I've found is a Calender Worker....

William's birth shows her occupation as 'Calenderer's folder'.  In 1881 she is probably the Margaret CARIGAN, aged 21, born Glasgow, Sewer & Folder Calanderer, also boarding at 5 Towers Street, Kinning Park.  This is from a transcription only and doesn't give her marital status. I think you need to be a bit flexible with her year of birth.

The CARRIGAN/CAMPBELL marriage in 1877?  I think there is enough circumstantial evidence for it to be the correct person.
