Hello Gwyn - thank you for continuing to try and help. Regarding the person with Dorothy and Agnes in their tree. I have got in touch and received a reply. According to him Dorothy is the daughter of William and Helen Elcock but as I have pointed out to him, we have actually got her birth certificate and her mother is Agnes Elcock and no father named. He has not replied to date to this info I have sent to him. The Agnes Gertrude born 1886 parents Harry and Agnes is the one causing me this problem. I have gone back over my research and checked census returns and it is clear on the census returns that she is Agnes G Elcock. Unfortunately Elcock seems to have been a very common name in Romsey and by bad luck Agnes also seems to have been used quite a bit. I think to positively clarify her possible marriage to Betteridge, a visit to Romsey to view parish records for her marriage or the purchase of the marr cert to see if her father is named as Harry is going to be the only way. I shall continue to search around in the vain hope that somehow or other something jumps out at me. There has to be an answer somewhere. Thank you again for your help.

The parish records will probably be on fiche in Hampshire Record Office in Winchester.( just over the road from the train station )
The staff are very helpful.

Did you know that there is a one name study for ELCOCK?
You will find contact details on the G.O.O.N.S. site....

You could contact the researcher and see if she can clarify the situation.
