Abstract.In this paper, the authors extend the theory of the generalized difference operator $\Delta_\ell$ and the second $\Delta_{\ell_1,\ell_2}$ to third kind $\Delta_{\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3}$ for the positive reals $\ell_1,\ell_2$ and $\ell_3$ by presenting some results on generalized polynomial factorials of several kinds, generalized Leibnitz Theorem and Newton's formula. Also we develop a formula to find second partial sums of products of $n$ consecutive terms of arithmetic, arithmetico-geometric progressions by defining the inverse operator $\Delta^{-1}_{\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3}$ of the third kind operator $\Delta_{\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3}$.
