The age of his wife is compatible so perhaps Jane was using Margaret as her name by then, perhaps a middle name.

I can’t reconcile his grandchildren William (aged 9, so born 1872) and Martin (aged 5, so born 1876) and it is not clear that William and Margaret had children.

 

1891

 

Joseph Farndale died at Bridlington in 1891, aged 73, and the death was registered there in the first quarter of 1891 (GRO Vol 9d page 229).
