There are three possibles for Eveline/Evelyn married to Clark/Clague in the 1901 census!

Is this her?

CLAGUE, Evelyn A 19 milliner b.Douglas was single, living with her widowed mother in Douglas.

CLAGUE, Evaline 17 Dressmaker b.Douglas was also single, living with her parents in Douglas.

In the 1911 census:

Parish:German (Town of Peel)
Address:
Devonshire House Victoria Terrace Peel County:Isle of Man

She had filled out the columns about number of years married and children born alive, but they had been crossed out (presumably because she was a widow, which seems strange). Anyway, she wrote that she had been married for 12 years, and that she had 4 children born alive, with two still living, and two who had died.

1911:
CHRISTIAN, Margaret Head Widow F 50 1861 Boarding House Keeper Isle of Man Patrick
DOW, Lottie Daughter Married F 25 1886 Isle of Man Peel
CHRISTIAN, Ruby Daughter Single F 18 1893 Assisting Boarding House Keeper Isle of Man Peel
RG number:RG14 Piece:34739 Reference:RG14PN34739 RD635 SD3 ED20/1 SN17
Registration District: Isle of Man Enumeration District:20/1 Parish:German (Town of Peel)
Address:
Mona House Victoria Terrace Peel County:Isle of Man. Ten rooms.

Her answers about marriage and children had also been crossed out, which has made the marriage years hard to read, but I think it is "31". 6 children born alive, 4 living, 2 dead.
Which means that David could be right about Cecil not being her birth child.
