It could be that both his wives (if that is the case) were called Margaret.

Based on the cousin's surname in 1881 I wonder if this could be Daniels marriage?

Dan Lundy

Married 22 years - no children from this marriage, so Margaret is probably 2nd wife.

I think David and Daniel could be the same, and he has jettisoned Ireland in favour of his new work place by 1891

EDIT

Census info eliminates the 1845 marriage from the equation - NOT the parents of the man being researched

Have you tried to find his birth or marriage certificates, and have you got a birth certificate for one of his children which will have Margaret's maiden name on it?
Thanks
