Research Notes
There are some problems with the above scenario. Ruth married James Rothwell as Ruth Alderson but apparently, she had been married to Christopher Alderson Beaney who must have died before she married James. However, there is a death for Christopher but he was much older than she - aged 64 on the death registration. This confusion needs to be sorted out.
