There are a couple who look likely on the LDS 1880/1881 censuses, but without a country it is hard to tell. Those names look Scotch to me, but usually the people who post without mentioning a country are from New York.
Here are two, for example:

Mary ALLANWifeMFemale29Howdon On Tyne, Northumberland, England

They are from

To duplicate my search, enter "Margaret" in the person, "Alexander" in the H of H, "Allan" in both surnames and look for someone born within 5 years of 1877. I figured that if it was a first marriage, she was 15 - 25 in 1897.
All of my assumptions could be wrong. The LDS site doesn't have the Scottish census on-line, although you can look at it at a Family History Center via CD's, I believe. If she is working somewhere and not living at home, she won't show up in Alexander's household. If she is an Australian, she won't show up.
Alan Freer has her, without parents but with two children, at RWWC:

He uses "Stuart-Menteth" for Andrew's surname, with a dash. You won't find him under "Menteth".
