	There looks to be a Caroline and William Cole in Bristol in 1911. Take a look and see if the occupation matches. Rose

	Just a wild bit of straw clutching but Ive found women previously married to the new husbands rellie and hence same surname.

	Have you tried variant spellings - Colls, Coals, Coales etc? Suppose it is possible that - if they happened to have the same surname - they might not have seen a point in marrying, but you never know.
