I beleive the separation to have been in 1863 or before. The reasons are (a) that his first child Amy to Fanny Worth was born in around 1865 and (b) he got the Royal Licence to change his name in 1863, and he used the name of Lybbe for himself, Fanny and their three daughters.
However RCLP-L writes in his testament that the separation of his grandparents did not occur until 1869. I just don't think he, RCL P-L, got it right.

"1826 Jan 3 GREENWOOD Ann Phillis d. Thomas, gent & Ann. Market Place JB"
According to Alexander Greenwood in his book, Ann Phillis (as she was baptised) was adopted by her childless aunt and uncle, Phyllis Greenwood and William Stephens, when she was seven. (Did this presage the fostering of RCLP-L by her daughter Julia Elinor in c.1889?) This explains why she was married at Tilehurst, Reading, from her adopted parents' home. (And does it have anything to do with the payment for the English Martyrs in Tilehurst by her grandson? Doubt it, as this was a RC Church.)
In 1881 she was at 7 Lansdown Crescent, Walcot, Somerset with her daughter Julia and called herself Annie Powys.
In RCLP-L's testament he says she was left £70,000 in consols by her adopted father, William Stephens. In his will it was £20,000...
In 1901 she was living with her grandchild Edith M Hill at 3 Fourth Avenue, Hove, East Sussex, aged 75 and born in Walkingford (sic), Berks and living on own means.
Her household was the two of them plus a visitor and three servants.
But what was she doing in Hove in 1901, so close to her husband's second family, even though they had moved to St James, London in 1901???
