Remarks

↑ Different sources give different variants for the spelling of your first name. There are Betsy and Betty among others. In the marriage register from 1945 on www.freebmd.org.uk she is listed as Bessie. The same source finds a Bessie May Staples born in Lewisham with a date of birth in the 2nd quarter of 1902, which, however, seems too early for the person described.
