Had a good look for Ben on the 1901 but I can't see him either. Do you know why the children had different surnames or have you just not added Ripley?

Many thanks for that confirmation. The "dodgy" birth certificates are part of the mystery 
I can't find a birth certficate for Thomas but the other 2 (actually 3 - there's another one to man named CLARK) only record WATTERSON. But then I have recently found:
Marriage cert. No.110
1896, Aug 15th, The Register Office, York
Benjamin Parkinson RIPLEY, 23, bach., Groom.
res.? Green, York
f.Benjamin Parkinson RIPLEY, Saddler, decd.
Jane Ann WATTERSON, 21, spin., Domestic servant
res.214 Bootham Square, York
f.John Jacob WATTERSON, Blacksmith
sign.B P RIPLEY & Jane A WATTERSON
wits.John RIPLEY & Hannah Bielby RIPLEY
reg.York
...and then the trail goes cold... that's why I thought about the Boer War
