Leaving mortgage business and my last 3 employers have shut down/filed bankruptcy. How will my prospective employers verify my work history with them?

It depends on the company. Most background checks include a history of your taxes which would tell them what company you were working for when you filed your taxes. Also, depending on the company, they may not try to verify your work history. There's no guarantee they will attempt to contact your past employers. What I would do is try to locate someone, outside of family and friends, who could verify that you worked at these places and see if you could use them as references. Offer these references to potential employers to help verify your employment.

Well you can prove you worked for those companies based on your pay slips (bankaccount records). How much you were paid will reflect the level that you worked at.
The companies were unlikely to be "bankrupt" but insolvement. An insolvement company hands management over to a receiver. They will probably have the company records and as effective owners can verify that you worked for them.
Try and contact former managers and colleagues. It may be unusual but your colleagues can confirm that you worked for them. Sometimes I use referees who are not managers, as character references.
It is a tough one, but if a company wants to employ then they will tolerate this little hassles.

Government records of your deductions. You did pay taxes didn't you?
