Who does Bessy/Betsy Byers marry

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Marian Report 29 Jan 2016 13:35

I have Bessy Byers baptised 2 Jan 1814 Guisborough area daughter of Thomas and Mary. In 1842 she marries John Metcalf at Guisborough but is Betsy. She next surfaces on 1851 census Guisborough area living with her brother Abraham and family. She is now called Bessy Queen (widow) and has a daughter Mary J or Mary I Queen aged 0. In November 1861 she is a witness at her brother Hill's second marriage and is Bessy Hardy. So, I now find her on 1861 census living at Guisborough junction (widow) with Frederick Queen aged 12 born Middlesbrough, Mary aged 10 born Middlesbrough and Francis M Hardy daughter 8 born Middlesbrough. Francis is spelt wrong. Did she marry all these men or maybe just lived with them. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I think Robert Pass is meant to be Robert Pace.
I wonder if she is just unlucky or killing all her husbands off - lol, thanks again.
