To prove the 1847 marriage is correct Isabella's birth certificate will give her mother's maiden name. The 1847 marriage if it is the correct one will then of course give father's names for both John and his second wife and state John was a widower. It is more difficult to prove the John Cave/Susana Driver marriage of 1827, as though there were two known children born to this marriage after civil registration it appears neither had their birth registered though there is this birth registration for which there is no corresponding death registration (not all births registered as male or female were babies that died very young. The requirements were to register births you didn't have to give the child a name if you hadn't yet thought of one. I even met someone who had their birth registered in such a way in 1907).
Births Dec 1837
Cave Male Bermondsey 4 17
The earlier 1827 marriage might give useful information from the witnesses names.
The first marriage produced 6 known children - it is possible there might have been others.
The second marriage produced at least three children. Again there might have been others that died young.

But then since censuses only give a snapshot of one night in every 10 years, there could be other possibilities e.g.

On the 1871 census the eldest daughter Susan Farrah was staying with her married half sister Elizabeth nee Cave.
