Betsey was a Widow in 1891 - in Radford. F-in-Law was John Lowe, Lacemaker.

Oldest dau born France, but Charles Lowe states Radford in that census. (think he's switched PoBs with sister!)

1881 census - RG11 Piece 3343 Folio 34 Page 8 in Radford .... Father / Husband is John H Lowe c1856 born Sneeton,Notts, a Lacemaker

Given oldest child is 2 in 1881, and age of John H Lowe, I'd think that the marriage was later than 1872?

Do you have a birth cert of one of the children confirming her maiden name as varley?

[avotier]

Also a little mystery if she married in 1872,remarried in 1893 aged 33yrs to my reckoning made her 12yrs when she married her first husband.

[avotier]

No have no birth certificates for children just her marriage to Thomas,he was 26yrs when he married Betsy.

[lizdb]

That is what I am getting at - was she really nee Varley, or is betsey alice var.ey someoe else altogether!


1881 she is with first husband - John H Lowe
RG 11 3343 34 8

In Radford

Charles  age 1 bn  France,  but an older daughter Annie age 2 bn Radford

[lizdb]

There is a marriage A/M/J 1878, Radford of a John Henry Lowe, no brides are transcribed, so need to hunt around for them
7b 257 (but either this or the brides must be wrong)

[avotier]

It states on certificate father is Frederick Varley

Radford is where the Taylors all came from
