Searching for any details on William Rutledge (b1869) In Derbyshire. Married Rebecca Cooper (b1875). They had 11 children, 10 boys and 1 girl (my grandmother Maud). William was born before his mother was married but she went on to marry his father and his siblings have the surname "Jones". Believe William's father went to Scotland looking for work, possibly mining and met his mother there who possibly came from Ireland.

There isn't a place called Answorth .....I suspect that 1881 may have been a case of a dropped 'H'

Marriage cert will confirm father's details

Sorry for the delay in replying. Not been able to use my laptop for some time - been concerned with other things (my best friend's daughter-in-law has got severe heart problems and has to go to hospital to see if she can be accepted for a transplant which seems to be the only "cure". Unfortunately, she has other problems which make anaesthetics a big risk.)
Many, many thanks to you all - now trying to digest alll the info.
