Frederick has a widowed sister-in-law Hannah Doughty with him on the 1881 census, so I would say so. On the 1871 census Hannah is the wife of William Doughty who was born about 1817-1818 at Grantham, Lincolnshire (or Spittle Gate, Lincolnshire, according to the 1861 census), so I suspect that William was Frederick's half-brother. There is a baptism for a William Doughty at Grantham in 1817 with parents William and Ann.
I can't remember - does the William Foster / Ann Doughty marriage say whether Ann was a spinster or a widow?
