so looks like she died some time between 1861 and 1871 and he then married William's mother.

There is a birth for a William Blythe, registration district Selby so death could well be him, however, Selby is not the reg. district for Hawes?

Births Jun 1858 (>99%)
Blythe William Selby 9c 503

Unfortunately the only way to know for certaint is to buy the cert.

If he was a soldier, then he may not be on the 1881 census.
