You are a gem. And now the hunt goes on to find who the third wife was and whether they had any chidren. Her name on the 1871 census was Eliza b 1838 so it is possible there were more children.

I cannot see a death for Eliza Birch that matches. She was born ? 1838.
?? Unusual to change a name from Eliza to Hannah ??
