  ******************** 1901 England Census
  Although Charles Ruffles is listed, in lambeth, correctly as widower, his wife Jane having died in 1894. the 1911 census states that he had been married for 14 yrs to a Betsy Cole Ruffles this makes the relationship beginning abt. 1896.
  there is not a marriage for a Charles and Betsy in the GRO although there is a marriage of a charles ruffles to a betsy patchett in 1905 this was ANOTHER paring and they can be found also in the 1911 census
  it should be noted that i did not find Betsy in the 1901 census & suspect that she WAS with Charles but that Betsy was left off the return due to their not being married
  I believe that Betsy was Betsy Abraham [birth 1856 not recorded in GRO] who married William Cole in 1876. i have not conclusively identified William Cole as of the 1891 census.
  ******************** As the name is 'Betsy Cole Ruffles' it suggests this is likely to be Betsy Abraham who married William Cole 1879. The return gives the fact that 7 children were born to the marriage but this is incorrect.
  Infact Charles had 4 children with jane:- Amelia, Louisa, Ethel & Charles jr. Charles jr died in 1894.
  Betsy Cole nee Abraham had 3 children with William cole, whom she married in 1876;- Sarah, Alice & Florence. both Sarah & Florence died in1875 & 1880 respectively.
  charles and betsy did not have children but the children born in their other marriages would makes up the 4 living and 3 dead children indicated on the return.
