The sister (brother?)

Births Dec 1883
POWELL Francis George Plymouth 5b 243

So do you think the family that Reggie found in 1891 is the right family?

If you have Anne's marriage certificate it will give the name of her father.

I couldn't find any marriage for Anne to Lecointe on freebmd.

Have you got either of the sisters on the 1901 census?

You really need to make sure about where they were born.............you could end up following the wrong line if you don't get accurate details.
