If Ann didn't die, the 'marriage' to Jane may be a lie

Hi, I have Timothy on the 1911 census with a wife of 25 years -Jane. I also what seems to be the same Timothy on the 1881 census with a wife - Ann. Occupation on both is same as is place of birth, Ireland. Son John on both census. I believe the 1911 census is the correct one for my family, but I cannot find any other census with Timothy. I cannot find a marriage to Jane or a death of Ann.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
