Hi Ladybird,
I have a Ruth Charlton born c1871 on my family tree who was born at Riding Mill, Nr. Broomhaugh, Northumberland and Baptised in 1871 at St. Andrew's Church, Bywell, Northumberland. Her parents however, were George & Margaret. In 1881 when Ruth was 10yrs old, she was living with her parents and siblings at Station Cottages, Corbridge.
Could this be the Ruth you are looking for?
Kind regards,
Doric
