on each of your three seeds, create the wallet and set the gap limit to 200 with this command
wallet.storage.put('gap_limit',200)
in the console.
this will generate more addresses for you because if your funds aren't in the first five generated, you won't see them.

You're in a tough situation, pretty much your only option is to attempt to a brute-forcing solution.
There are free (but not necessarily easy) options, and there are paid options. To make matters more complicated, you'll need to decide if you want to try to brute-force your wallet password or your seed. Here's the break-down, as far as I'm aware.
Free options:
Brute-forcing an Electrum seed: see this thread.
Brute-forcing an Electrum wallet password: see btcrecover (tutorial is here) or this thread.
Paid options:
Brute-forcing a seed: ??
Brute-forcing a wallet password (I don't know which if any of these support Electrum):

FYI I can help out with the btcrecover option if you choose to try it. Good luck....

Hey guys and gals,
I placed quite a huge amount of money in my electrum wallet I created about a year ago as I couldn't reach blockchain.info yesterday.
I didn't remember I encrypted that wallet and I've got no clue what my password is. I wrote down three different seeds and do not know which one is the correct one. I tried all three of them like a hundred times but the wallets I get are always empty. I'm absolutely desperate and just don't know what to do. I know I lost my money for sure but wanted to ask you if there was at least the smallest possibility of regaining access to my money - I've got the wallet file and I can see my goddamned money on the screen, but I cannot access it. It's driving me crazy and the amount I lost really, really hurts ...
Thanks for your time!
