Betty Blackford JONES.
Sarah BLACKFORD married Henry JONES….but where and when?
The children born to Sarah and Henry JONES and baptised at St Nicholas, Uphill are as follows;
Betty Blackford JONES, 12 May 1799.
Henry JONES, 7 Jan 1802.
John JONES, 19 Jan 1804.
James JONES, 27 Jul 1806.
Newity Lane JONES, 8 Jun 1808. (on this record their abode is Flat Holme.)
Newity Lane JONES, 29 Aug 1811.
Betty Blackford JONES married Thomas YEATMAN 13 April, 1824, at St Paul, Portland Squ., Bristol.
(Bristol Record Office register number 2f. Page number 85, entry number 258. Thanks to an RC chatter.)
They settled in Uphill, Somerset and had;
Henry James YEATMAN, 1825, who married in 1849 and migrated to Australia, 1855. per. “Sabrina”
George YEATMAN, 1828, migrated to Australia, 1855. per “Lord Burliegh”
Adelaide YEATMAN, 1831, married Henry MONK in 1855, migrated to Australia, 1855. per “Lord Burliegh”
Emma Eliza YEATMAN, 1834, m. Thomas BASELEY in 1852, migrated to Australia, 1855. per “Lord Burliegh”
Thomas YEATMAN, 1836, died 1840, Uphill.
Thomas YEATMAN Snr, died Uphill, 1837. Betty, as Elizabeth, married James WATSON who died in 1853. Betty, as Mrs Elizabeth WATSON, migrated to Australia, 1855. per “Lord Burliegh”
George YEATMAN married Emma COOPER in 1873. His mother’s name on the marriage certificate is Betsy JONES, father Thomas YEATMAN.
Of course I worked backwards with this, starting with George YEATMAN, my g-grandfather’s marriage, and I think I have sound bases and reasons behind my research.
Betsy JONES is the name given for the mother on the death certificate of Adelaide MONK.
Elizabeth is on Emma Eliza’s death certificate. Emma and Henry MONK named their first son Constantine Blackford MONK, and Mrs Elizabeth WATSON was present at his birth.
Mrs Elizabeth WATSON was also present at the birth of Emma and George YEATMAN’s first son.
So you see, she was known by all three names, Betty, Betsy and Elizabeth.
I have;
Betsy YEATMAN, widow, on the 1841 census at Uphill with George and Adelaide. Sarah JONES and Emma YEATMAN are next door.
Marriage to James WATSON, Bristol, 1841.
1851 census has James WALTON, Mrs B. WALTON, George YEATMAN, son-in-law, and Emma YEATMAN, daughter-in-law, at Everden, Northampton.
James WATSON death registered, Mar. qtr, 1853 at Bath, Somerset.
Passenger list from “Lord Burligh” has Mrs Elizabeth WATSON with the family groups of BASELEY, MONK and George YEATMAN.
My dilemma is this; I have no real proof that Sarah BLACKFORD and Henry JONES are the parents of the Betsy JONES on my Grandfather’s marriage certificate. Or if they are, where and when did they marry?
