James Skillicorn

Can someone please look up James Skillicorn DOB 1845 Lonan? I have followed him on the 1861 where he is shown as Farm Servant, 1871 where he is shown married to Elizabeth ?? DOB 1841. They are shown on the 1881 census together with Wm. Quine (stepson), then on the 1891 he is a widower.

It looks like she was either married previously and had William DOB 1864. But I am unable to find who she was first married to - if at all. It could be, I guess, that William is illegitmate.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
