After a couple of hours on familysearchrecordsearch beta site yesterday I've found his second wife's maiden name; Mary Ann Grimes.
I still haven't found her mother's name, but her father's name was Stephen.
I'm not too bothered about her because she is not my bloodline.

I love these threads because they make you look at your information again and try to fill in any gaps.
