Hi Carole
There is another scenario. Henry Bedford could be her father but her parents never married. It was quite usual for children to be called by their father's surname.
Alternative,y, the marriage forms in Scotland were much more lenient that in England and Wales. Ibi will fill you in on the various marriage forms - he and JAP are the experts 
I'll check for a marriage again but I'm sure that I looked before - so many looks that I can't remember what I've done

Don't give up, Carole.
Nothing is in vain. We've added to the collection of info about various people on this thread 
Also, although I have a few brick walls in my tree, I always reckon that someday, somewhere, I'll find something.
I'll have another look.

Hi Carole
There are quite a few Bedfords in Sculcoates on the 1881 - some b. Hull - on the 1881 census. It might be worth you having a look at them on the the LDS site (free 1881 census index) to see if there's anything that might link up.
