Looking for information on Susannah Betsey
« on: Friday 13 October 17 20:09 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone
I’m looking to see if I can find the baptism of Susannah Betsey. She married John Sturges on 18/12/1768 in Ash near Sandwich. The marriage record can be found on Findmypast and can be viewed in the parish records. I have managed to trace the line of John Sturges back so he is not a problem but Susannah is.
I have searched with various spellings of her name but come up blank. Assuming she was aged around 20 when she married I have searched within a ten year period. I have also searched with no dates and still came up with nothing.
Please could you have a look to see if you can find Susannah so I can take this branch further back.
Thanks in advance

I think the name is Belsey , not Betsey . It's quite a common name in that part of Kent.

Yes, transcribed as BELSEY on family search.

Sorry, can't see a suitable baptism though ...

There are 2 Susannah BELSEYs on family search, though baptised probably a bit early to fit yours. One at Hougham in 1721, and another at Sutton in 1719 - though it looks like this one may have married William WILD in 1744 at Ringwould.

Thank you Christine and Mandy for the information. I will look into the surname Belsey and see what I can find but at the moment I can’t find a baptism for her.

   I wondered if she might be a widow? Though I can't find a likely first marriage.
