She doesn't appear to be older than about 15 here, so that's where my c. 1890 estimate comes from
Photo C isn't 1890's it's 1870's.

Pic. 1 1850's-60's.
Pic. 2 1860's
Pic. 3 1870's.
Pic 1 may be a reprint as her bodice appears fastened on the wrong side
which would make this a copy of an ambrotype (1850's).
Added:
2 & 3 look like the same couple 10-15 years apart.

Well it's pre WW1 & I would suggest around 1905-10.

2nd. photo no later than mid 20's as the lanyard moved to the
right shoulder around that time.
So post WW1-mid 20's.
His service record is with the MOD & in the process of being moved to TNA.

Can see just 1 death for a William Greenhill correct age & place.
Died 15/12/1890 Erdington Workhouse aged 69.
Possibly the 2nd. marriage was bigamous.

It wasn't compulsory to state widow(er) on a marriage cert. although most
people did.
I assume William Greenhill was dead by 1887.
