Description:
The first example illustrates that Henry has more than 1 wife. In this sentence the speaker wants to identify his wife who worked at the Bank, not the other.
While in the second sentence, we are clear, if Alex had only 1 man and wife. Phrases that are in between commas only provide additional information only. Without that phrase any other person already knows that his wife Alex was working in a bank because it was her only one.
Consider the following example for more details on the use of commas in the Adjective Clause.
