Thank you Carol, sorry for not replying yesterday.  Henry John Shilston was born 1847 and died 1899.  Catherine married in 1895 as a widow...........  I can't find a record of their divorce on the National Archives so it appears that perhaps Robert Hammond and Catherine's marriage wasn't exactly legit!

Tryphena is a biblical name.

Tryphena of Rome, "a woman who labours in the Lord", is greeted by St Paul in Romans 16:12
