Looks like Jane disappeared between 1871 and 1881. She may have died or just taken herself off somewhere. He may not have married Annie and her forename may have been a nickname/middle name, I suppose.

On the 1901 it says Annie was born in Plymouth! As Charles is shown in every census 1861-1901 as being a painter, born in Yarmouth c 1835, I think there's little doubt that he is your man.

Best wishes

There's a death of a Jane Driver, St Saviour's, Southwark, Dec qr 1871: I think that's the right reg'n district for at least one of the big hospitals.

If you need the full details of any of the above, please ask...I don't know how to cut & paste, so I'd have to type it all out and I'm off to bed now.
