Is it possible that Margaret J. Robinson had a sister called Sarah?

I know it's a long shot but there is this marriage in Lancashire:-

First name(s) Joseph
Last name Maguire
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1935
Registration month -

MarriageFinder ™

Joseph Maguire married one of these people

Sarah E Robinson

Spouse's last name Robinson
District Burnley
District number -
County Lancashire
Country England
Volume 8E
Volume as transcribed 8E
Page number 427
Record set England & Wales Marriages 1837-2005
Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records

I know of a few people who married one sister, only to end up living with another.

It could be a completely different couple but just thought it worth mentioning.

Does the marriage certificate for Joseph and Margaret not give the names of their previous spouses?

I've seen that record Kath,but can't seem to fit it in with anything.Marriage cerificate doesn't name previous spouses.

I'm looking for a marriage in Northern Ireland,probably in the Belfast area(?) between 1928 & 1937 for the above fellow to persons unknown(unfortunately).He was born in 1912.The next I know of him is in Barrow-in-Furness in 1937 where he has a daughter to Margaret Jane Robinson-Mary Josephine Maguire.The couple were together for 37 years before marrying in 1974 in Barrow-in-Furness.I have their marriage certificate which states that both parties previous marriages were dissolved ? I cannot find any record for either party having married before in England (that fits in).
I can't find Margaret Jane on the 1939 register in Barrow-in-Furness,(she was born in 1905 in Kilkeel,Northern Ireland),but,as she had a child born in 1937 (Mary Josephine Maguire) & another in 1939 (William Patrick Maguire),both in Barrow-in-Furness, I'd assume she was there ? I've found Joseph at 15,Silverdale Street in Barrow-in-Furness on the 1939 register-he's married,but on his own? I checked Electoral Rolls in Barrow-in-Furness today,but couldn't find them prior to WW2 at Silverdale Street,but found them in 1945 in Franklin Street,Barrow-in-Furness.(Another daughter-Elizabeth C is born in 1945)
One of them,either Joseph or Margaret Jane is said to have had a daughter born in Northern Ireland in the early 1930s prior to coming to England.That daughter is said to have been called Francis.
Any help much appreciated.
