Franks' (isaac's) wife in the 1910 census has changed from Margaret to Martha, but form the age and places of birth, this appears to be the samem woman. It is interesting that in 1910, her name is Martha, the same a Frank's first wife Martha (Mattie) Sledge.

The 1910 census reports this is the second marriage for both. But it also says the number of years of the resent marriage is 26, an obvious error. According to this 1900 census, Margaret has borne only 1 child, and we know that would be Robert Ward, Isaac's stepson. Thus all the Gilbert children here are the children of Isaac Frank's first wife.
Some genealogies later filled in some missing details.

By 1920, Margret and Frank have moved to Farmersville in Collin County, Texas, where her parents were living. Her son Robert Ward has rejoined their hosuehold. Note that the enumerator has mistakenly (probably absentmindedly) given the three Gilbert children the last name of Ward by putting a ditto under Wars after the entry for Robert Ward.
