William & Lucy Raby Lancaster 1900's

[Marmalady]

Lucy Annie Cope married widower William Raby in Lancaster in October 1894

In 1901, William is visiting his married daughter Nelly Green in Bolton, but Lucy is not with him

In 1911, Lucy is an inmate in an institution in Lancaster listed as "married"

Lucy dies in Lancaster in 1926

Where was Lucy in 1901 ?
Where was William in 1911?

Can anyone find them -- or a death for William ?

The one in Bolton in 1901 is a widower
Henry Green   Head 41
Nelly Green   Wife 26
Fanny Green   Daughter 19
George Green   Son 17
Maggie Green   Daughter 6
Leah Green   Daughter 5
Harold Green   Son 2
Doris A Green   Daughter 6/12
William Raby   Father in Law Widower 51 Joiner
Maggie J Raby   Sister in Law 17
Edgar G Raby   Stepson 6
RG13/3641/25/42

Looking at the ages, they can't all be Nelly's children.

Did William remarry? I can see one in Manchester in 1911 that could fit.
Same birth place same occupation

Ignore this

In 1911, Lucy is an inmate in an institution in Lancaster listed as "married"

So that means if the Lucy Raby in the workhouse is the correct person, William was telling lies about his status in 1901.
Who are the parents of the stepson Edgar G Raby?

[Marmalady]

So if the William in Bolton is not the one who married Lucy -- is there another one ?
The age & occupation match

He gave his occupation as Carpenter on his marriage -- from LancsOPC:
