I could not find Ruth (Chappell) or her husband, Thomas Thornley Allen, in the 1891 or the 1901 Census.
It appears they emigrated to Australia.
A Ruth Allen (aged 27) and a George Allen (aged 6) are recorded as passengers on the Austral, which departed 20 Jun.1890, London, bound for Adelaide.
Also on board, is an Unnamed Female Allen (aged 50) who is a Seamstress.
She may have been Ruths mother-in-law, Elizabeth Allen.
An Elizabeth Allen died at Broken Hill in 1914 (aged 85). She was buried in the Broken Hill Cemetery on 30 Jun.1914, Anglican Section H, Grave No.20.
Also buried in this grave is Elizabeths husband, John, died in 1899 (aged 70), buried 15 Sept.1899.
Thomas may have travelled to Australia previously, with his father, John, and his brother, George.
No Passenger Lists were taken in England prior to 1890.
