I think there's a bit of confusion here because on the 1880 census Frederick's wife is Frances, also born England.
Could the brothers Frederick & Francis who arrived in 1854 actually be man & wife Frederick & Frances? They had a son born 1855 in Illinois.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
