I would welcome some help sorting out Ebenezer Hailes' family from this 1881 census entry, please:

Ann Do Wife Mar 42 Laundress Do Chelsea

Ebenezer was born 9 Jan 1835, the son of Thomas and Martha. He married Mary Walker 30 Nov 1856 at St Paul, Bermondsey, and this is them in 1871:

2 Chapel Court, St George Southwark, London
Ebenezer Hailes Head M 36 Oilman's Assistant City of London
Mary Do Wife M 37 Do
Martha Do Daur 13 General Serv Surrey Southwark
Mary Do Do 10 Scholar Do Do
Elizabeth Do Do 8 Do Do Do.
Mary sr died in 1872 in Pancras, age 37. I can't find a marriage between Ebenezer and Ann. I imagine that William and James were Ann's children by a previous partner, and I don't know where Alfred fits in.
I can't find Ebenezer in 1891, nor Ann, William, James and Alfred.
But I found the marriage of William James Hailes to Mary Louisa Searle 8 Dec 1890 at St John Holloway. He is 23, a bachelor, plumber, son of Ebenezer Hailes (deceased), house painter. She is 24, spinster, daughter of William Searle, sea captain. (No connection to any other Searles in my tree that I know of!) Residence for both is 77 Junction Rd. I haven't managed to find this couple on any censuses. I haven't found 77 Junction Rd on the 1891 census yet to check whether they're there.
Despite that "deceased", Ebenezer died in 1920 in Southwark. He is with daughter Mary in 1901 and in the workhouse in 1911. Workhouse records list his next of kin as daughters Mrs (Mary) Clerke and Mrs (Martha) Wray and niece Edith Hailes. No mention of any sons. His occupation on the workhouse records is Potman. He seems to have quite a few different occupations over the years.
So what I'm trying to find out is who Ann was, and where Alfred fits in to the family, and where Ebenezer, Ann, William and his wife, James, and Alfred were in 1891. If William thought that Ebenezer was dead by 1890 I guess Ebenezer and Ann had split up, yet William still had the surname Hailes.
