The wedding of Robert Henry & Jane Mary Ann sounds spot on as Robert's apprenticeship as a waterman ended in March of 1863 and they weren't allowed to marry during the apprenticeship.
It also makes sense as I found a wedding for a Henry Robert David Crouch in 1884 (which is the same as above) on freebmd and I also believe the death record I found in 1900 is correct as the Crouch family lived in the West Ham where the death was registered.

In the trasncription I did above (post 5), the original 1871 census does NOT state that Henry RD aged 7 is the son of Henry and Elizabeth. It says he is the GRANDSON of Sarah, who is also the mother of Henry William. You are quoting Ancestry's transcription I think, which I noticed gave Henry and Elizabeth as parents. A fair assumption, but not a factual one in this case.
As the baptism records posted by Jellylegs suggest, Henry R aged 7 is the son Robert H. In the 1861 census record you posted, it shows that Sarah probably has a son called Robert H. Therefore Henry RD would be Sarah's grandson.
