This is all very confusing I've always assumed that the Bothal couple in the 1891 census are the ones we want. I think your death registration is the right entry and certainly the burial register has her as "Craig" aged 52.

I've been looking at my 1908 deceased Thomas Craig. He is a Wooler man by birth and a coal miner. In 1871 the family are in Rutters Row, Choppington. In the Morpeth Herald report of the police assault, Mrs Craig mentions that she had gone to Rutters public house to berate the publican about giving her husband drink, but that is 1890. In 1881 they are in Stakeford and in 1891 Choppington Colliery.

Wooler Thomas Craig has children who don't feature in the assault case and he's been having them in Choppington in 1874, 1879 and 1883. Could he fit in a couple of wars as well?
