3 times unlucky?

On 27 July 1829 G'G aunt Catherine Marks, born about 1814, Ireland?, married George Duke (St Nicholas). George died March, 1832. Were there children?
On 12 October 1835 Catherine Duke was witness to marriage of sister Isabella (Marks) to Robert Hindmarsh.
On Sep.10, 1838 Catherine married Peter Williamson (St Brede), sister Ruth Marks & to be husband David Watts witness.
In 1841 census as Catrine Williams she is living with Marks family in Blundell Street, as is sister Ruth, husband David Watts and child.
On 18 Aug. 1849 she registers the death of her father, John Marks, as Catherine Williamson. He was living in Sparling Street. He is shown on two marriage certs.
1851 Census she is Catherine Williams, Widow, living with her sister Jane McAllister and family in Baily Street.
On July 14 1853 she marries William Berry (both are shown as widow/er), Isabella as witness. The both appear in the 1861 census and have a William Williams and wife living with them(?)
By 1871 census (Hop Street) she is a Widow (again) and has Maria Watts (Neice in law) and her son living with her
She dies 28 May 1872 (Hop Street) and sister Jane McAlister registers the death.
1. What happened to husband Peter Williamson/Williams? I can find no death for him before 1851?
2. There appears to have been a child Peter Frederick Williamson born 8 August 1841 to Peter and Catherine Williamson, Blundell Street, baptised 10 Sep. 1841. Died 21 December 1847 age 6, registered by Catherine Williamson (Sparling Street).
3. Was there a child of marriage to George Duke
Sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees and always appreciate you specialised help!
