i found her in 1901

Annie E    Wilson    25       Yorkshire    1876    Lazenby, Yorkshire

she is down as wilson

[Jaime2013]

this is arthur in 1911

Arthur Wilson    Betteridge    37    Black Smith Stritker    Yorkshire    1874    South Bank, Yorkshire

its puzzling me where the wilson come from. was she married before?

  You are claiming the Emma as yours in both 1901 and 1911 her surname was Wilson in 1901 not the Betteridge as in 1911, just who then was the Arthur Wilson aged 6 with same family in 1901 you are not therefore claiming even though he is shown as a son?

all kids have wilson even annie and arthur (father)

I think the "Wilson" is from the maiden name of Authur's mother. 

Marriage 1872 - Stockton

Richard Betteridge
Hannah Mary Wilson

It could be that in the 1901 census the enumerator recorded Annie (Silman) down as Wilson instead of Betteridge (even though they married later in 1902).

Tell me if this sound right

Richard Betteridge married Hannah Mary Wilson in 1872

Child as we know Arthur Wilson Betteridge 1875

Also I have found other of Arthur siblings (but none have Wilson)

James 1877
Catherine 1881
Annie 1883
Elizabeth 1885
Richard 1886/7 (on the website looks like he went to WW1)
Ruth 1889
John William 1893 died in 1915 at WW1
Edward 1894 (on the website looks like he went to WW1)
Tilly/ Lilly 1896
Ruth 1889

ALL BORN IN GRANGETOWN AND LOOK LIKE IN THE SAME HOUSE IN 1901

I did find a Thomas 1889 but born in Stockton.

On the website I shared before:

PTE BETTERIDGE E YORKS (Edward)
PTE BETTERIDGE J W YORKS (John William)-  Private J Betteridge (Alias) served as Private J Wilson
PTE BETTERIDGE A W DORSET (Arthur Wilson)
PNR BETTERIDGE R E (Richard?)

Hi again, still would like a yes/no the Arthur aged 6 in 1901 is yours or not, but this is a possible Arthur Betteridge serving in the Boer War ie 1899/1902:-

A Betteridge Soldier No: 4419 The Princess of Wales Own (Yorkshire Regiment) Unit 3

Casualties injured on 31st January 1902 at Nr Burgherdorp Unit 3 The Princess of Wales Own (Yorkshire Regiment.

Source South African Field Force J B Hayward & Sons

Notes Railway Accident

So the reason he is possibly not on the 1901 Census.
