BAGALEY, Elizabeth b. 1827 d. 1848 Lincolnshire

It may just be so simple as that Mary Beet was Elizabeths friend.

Many thanks Trish, yes could possibly be  .
But we always hope for more don't we...?
If "my" Mary BAGALEY/BAGLEY/BAGGALEY was the mother of the illegitimate Elizabeth, then she is proving to be something of an enigma.  Maybe I'll find proof of her parentage one day 
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Hello again re looking into the death of Elizabeth BAGLEY d. 1848 Long Bennington & queries re information on Death Certificate.
I have now also acquired the Death Certificate of (possibly her Grandmother) Jane BAGGALEY d. 1858 Long Bennington.
I had hoped for some information to be revealed in place of death column, but on both it merely states "Long Bennington".
My other hope was in the Informant column......
I am bewildered by details on both certificates, as name of Informant (different on each) seem to have no known family connection.
I have heard there was possibly a Cottage Hospital in Long Bennington in the 1840's - 1850's & wonder if the Informant names could have that type of connection - for them to be "present at the death".
Copies of both certificates are attached and I look forward to any local information re "Informant" details.
Fingers crossed someone may have some ideas of what may have been common procedure in that era.
Thanks in advance
