From the 1911 census Bessie is said to be 36 and born in Enstone, Oxfordshire.  There is a birth registration in March 1876 - Chipping Norton RD - and GRO gives mother's maiden name of Elton.

1881 - RG11/1521 folio 103 page 7 - Bessy aged 5 with parents Charles and Emma plus a number of older siblings.
