This might be Rebecca, as well. One year earlier (1864). The Sheffield Police record indicates this woman's birth year is 1835 (close enough to the RM arrested in Liverpool and Wolverhampton).

But I don't know who the informant was for that given that they were deserted

"Deserted children" were usually abandoned by a parent(s) whilst in the workhouse. So, the workhouse staff would've been aware of the situation to verify it in their records.

1880-81 Liverpool workhouse entry (on FindMyPast)

Yes, there are several workhouse records which state "Deserted", but there's also a 1880-81 record (for Thomas and Francis) which states" Dead" for both parents. Just wanted to mention it.

How did the McNally children end up in Philadelphia (again) by 1882?

One of the c1880 workhouse records for the children has a notation of "Dead" for both parents.

Joseph Birkett -  1862 ??? - 1945

That's odd because the Passenger record and Death record have an 1882 birth year for JB.
