Chris :)

George Ernest first marriage, not to a Jane, and 7 years previously?
Marriages Mar 1904
Butt George Ernest Islington 1b 479
Elderkin Edith Emily Islington 1b 479
Rayner Robert James Islington 1b 479
ROBINSON Mary Ann A Islington 1b 479

Any chance that Jane Short has already moved in with Mr Butt for the 1911 census, and marries him later?

Mr Rayner married Mary Ann, so Mr Butt married Edith Emily Elderkin. Edith is back with her family in 1911
