My gut tells  me that is William in 1911 Census.
He was not free to marry so may have just taken up with Mary and Thomas may be her Son.

Death Reg in Chorlton Reg District Dec 1820 for a William Raby age 72 which fits.
1911 that William above is living in that Reg District.

William & Mary claim to have been married 16 years -- which would be 1895 -- so only a few months after he married Lucy
I can't find a suitable William & Mary marriage -- nor a birth of a Thomas Raby around 1895

So you may well be right, Trish

Did poor Lucy go into the asylum only months after her marriage or have William & Mary fudged their so-called marriage to fit Thomas's age?

I think they fudged it as you say, only 1 child in 16 years of Marriage seems unlikely.

Image of Mary has Mary Jane and I think born Northumberland.
Looked for her and so called Son Thomas in 1901 with no surname, with no luck.

William was not with her in 1901 so I would say Thomas may just be her Son.
