Hi Sally7216
When asking for or searching, emigration passenger lists etc - posting the ages and birthplaces of those you are looking for would be of assistance.....
But: This appears to be the family you refer to, in the 1881 Census:
Wade Hall, North Cove, Suffolk
Head: Henry Betts age 36 b Hawstead, Suffolk
Wife: Anne Maria Betts age 32 b Eye, Suffolk
Son: Charles H. Betts age 10 b Brockford, Suffolk
Son: Fredrick W. Betts age 8 b Brockford, Suffolk
Son: Albert E. Betts age 6 b Brockford, Suffolk
Son: Ernest A. Betts age 4 b Brockford, Suffolk
Dau: Florence Betts age 2 b Eye, Suffolk
Son: Herbert G. Betts age 5mths b North Cove, Suffolk
Henry is a Farm Bailiff 39 Acres, 2 men.
They didn't emigrate. Not before 1901 anyway....
This is the family in 1891:Pakefield, Suffolk (RD: Mutford) (Sub-RD:Kessingland)
Ref: RG12/1491, Folio: 15
London Road, 5 Bea---is Cottage
Head: Henry BETTS age 46, Agricultural Labourer, b Hawstead
Wife: Maria BETTS age 44 b Eye
Son: William BETTS age 18, single, Agricultural labourer, b Brockford
Son: Albert BETTS age 16 Agricultural Labourer b Brockford
Dau: Florence BETTS age 12, Scholar, b Eye
Son: George BETTS age 10. Scholar b North Cove
Dau: Edith BETTS age 8, Scholar, B North Cove
Son: Bertie BETTS age 6, Scholar, b North Cove
Dau: Ethel BETTS age 3, b North Cove
Son: Sidney BETTS age 1, b Barnby
They appear to favour middle names! From 1881 to 1891:
Anne Maria > Maria
Frederick W > William
Herbert G > George
Missing from 1891 are sons: Charles H and Ernest A who would be abt 20 & 14 in 1891. Possibly out working.
And this is the family in 1901:Pakefield, Suffolk (RD: Mutford) (Sub-RD:Kessingland)
Ref: RG13/1801, Folio 133
London Road
Head: Henry BETTS age 55, Horseman on Farm (Ag Horse), b Henstead (sic)
Wife: Maria BETTS age 54, b Eye
Dau: Florence BETTS, age 22 single, b Eye
Son: Horace B BETTS, age 16, Milkman on Farm (Ag Cattle) b North Cove
Son: Sidney BETTS age 11, b Barnby
Their other children poss out working or married.
Horace would be the Bertie in 1891!
Cheers
