There are several possibilties for Janet / Jessie (no Jennys) Forbes b. 1888, Glasgow. You need to get that marriage entry to give us her parents names and her father's occupation then we may be able to identify her on the census records.
The marriage will also let us know if we have the correct family for Alexander.

Can you tell us Janet Wishart Duncan's maiden surname please?
If, as it looks, she married Alexander in Scotland, then their marriage certificate will give you their ages, occupations, fathers' names and occupation and their mothers maiden surnames.
If you don't have the marriage certificate you can get it from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Credits are £6 for 30, 1 credit to view search results and 5 to view / download register entry.
When you get the marriage details post them here if you need lookups on the Scottish census records.
