Thanks everyone. Betsy seems to be the answer then. But it does make the mind boggle doesn't it? Your help is very much appreciated. |

So we have Betsy, and Emma, but I can't make out the name of the 5 year old daughter. |

There is this marriage for an Elizabeth in Foleshill in the right quarter. |

It definitely reads Restoy but I've noticed that a lot of his B's look like R's. I wonder if she said her name was Betsy? Still not correct but it's closer. |

I'd appreciate any ideas of the name of my ancestor who appears on the 1871 census, married to Thomas Loydall, living Hackney, born Warwickshire c1837. Thanks in advance for any help. I'll be back on board this evening. |
