Find Ancestors

I am having difficulty finding ancestors for my Great GrandfatherTom John Ruttleyborn 1853 Clifton Bristol Gloucestershire who married my G.G.M Isabella Giles 31/51886
He also married SusanRiddle in 1881 Tiverton Devon but she died.All this info was from helpers on G.R and all I know is that Tom's father's name was James. I would like to find siblings and any further generations.Perhaps they might be in Devon.Would appreciate any info

Well, here is his birth which will give you his parents - struggling with census before 1881 though.

You do need his birth cert really I think.
Not seeing him 1871, maybe Jonesey or Vera will have more luck!

If 1871 is correct sadly Anna died I think:

Deaths Dec 1853 (>99%)
Ruttley Anna Clifton 6a 84

Nice detective work there Jonesey! I do think the James & Ann found above are likely to be his parents but if it were me I'd still get that birth cert.

Hi thank you all for helping, you can see the problem i'm having .My second cousin told me tom Ruttley was born in cullompton Devon in 1854 but everything else Ive found out about him has him born in CliftonBristol in 1853.Along with the fact that he married his first wife Susan Riddle in Devon ,and his father's name wasJames , I thought maybe his family was from Cullompton. I just found the census entry for 1851 and it's interesting to note that tom's first daughter was also named anna.Vera's reference to the nephew sounds hopeful.I knew about the 1911 census which is correct .my grandmother is Stella.Apparently they appear as Rattley in 1901.Looks like you've cracked it for me .You are all wonderful. THANK YOU

Did some arithmetic and it looks like Hannah bornin1856 on 1861 census became Anna by 1881 census So Anna 8 months in1851 census must have died in 1853. Did anyone find them on the 1871 census , I am having no luck

Hannah?? (Birthplace a bit different, 1861 id Greenwich)


1871 England Census

Name: Hannah Ratley

Relation: Servant
Gender: Female
Where born: Deptford, Kent, England
Civil parish: St Paul Deptford

Jane Brimfield 20
Mabel Brimfield 6 months
Hannah Ratley 15

Thanks ,that's interesting , I'll look into that because in in 1891 she was also a domestic servant along with her sister ? Elizabeth.from the 1881 census. I think its a bit far fetched for Ann to have given birth at 47.I'm thinking Hanna(Anna) is the unmarried mother
