I've found them but I have no idea why they're under the surname Graham. Could it have been a stage name?

Hi Deb, You are marvellous...yes Graham was another name that was used why I dont know I feel that the threatre may have something to do with it or whether there was another relationship and Maggie carried the surname on?????..Walter and Margaret May Betts are name Walter William Grahame Betts and Margaret May Grahame Betts..I had the Grahame surname spelt with a E so came up with nil...give yourself a pat on the back..brillant.

I have just re-read the census and there is no husband..Ernest Henry Betts born 1869.... I do know that there was a break up of the marriage ..so it must have happened before the 1901 census.
