I know the passport application said he had dark skin but I think the transcription of negro on the 1920 is a mistake:

Looks like Marian is using her maiden surname.

The ages are hard to make out as the image is faint and has been written over.

I think this must have been the reason for the 1904 passport application - the ages are way out but it's just too much of a coincidence with the names.:
