I am in a bit of a muddle, help please
In 1910 Charlotte Mary Ford marries William Button in St Mary's Bitton, William is down as a widower living at St Catherine's Court Bath, father Aaron Button
On the 1911 census Charlotte is living at St Catherine's Court as a cook, no sign of William. Now the only information I can find on William is on family trees and this is where the trouble starts. On the 1911 census William is married to Hannah plus children living at 39 Hungerford Road, Lower Weston, Bath.
Is there another William? unfortunately cannot find any information on either Charlotte or William after 1911.
Should mention that Charlotte was born in 1879 and William in 1842
Any help would be appreciated

Could be but in the 1911 census although Charlotte is in service she is discribed as married.

Have you looked at the William Button b 1864 Suffolk whose occupation as a Gardener matches the marriage
Added - His father was also Aaron https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQXX-BXJ
and 1911 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RL-LZ8

When I get anyone like this I tend to use a general country wide approach and collect EVERYTHING I can find and try to 'prove each' or 'disprove each'
I have married ancestors who obviously separated not sure if it was work or emotional one claimed they were a widower the other claimed they were married and I went around in circles until the last census when they were back together... census info is not primary, it is secondary so 'told' or 'assumed' information, so highly likely to be wrong

Thank you Iluleah, You have solved my problem, so Charlotte was the cook and Willow the gardener.

Thank you trish, you have worked hard, I have copied and pasted your find on William Button's tree.
What I cannot find now no information on William and Charlotte after they married in 1910 (apart from on the 1911 census with William working as a gardener and Charlotte a cook)
