Wrong familes I'm afraid, the David Belcher I'm checking on was married around 1891 and had the children I mentioned in my post.
I have no knowledge of him being married previously, and I'm fairly certain he was not.

Well done keyboard86 - looks like David was married previously and we all had the correct families.
Sandra
Oh my God keyboard86, you are Columbo, but an even a better detective. I've checked back using your information and have now found children from David's previous marriage; David's parents and David's mother's parents. I apologise for not checking your info and the others out before I responded to you. Thank you so much.
P.S. Thank you Sandra et al for your help. Much appreciated.
