But you said that he married Alice Wilkinson in 1904. Her name is on the same page but she evidently married the other male on the page, Albert S. Hansen.

But Jane Eleanor Wilkinson is on the same page and that's who he married as proved by the 1911 census. It says they were married 6 years, evidently hadn't had their 7th anniversary yet when the census was taken, 2 April. The other 2 names on that page are the other couple who married.

2 couples on a page.

Partners are not always listed together.
Alice Wilkinson married the other groom Albert Hansen.
