Two Bessie Peters - one person?

[bugbear]

However, I'm still failing to find a marriage for Bessie & Alfred

It would be far from the first illegitimate birth I've found in my researches, but it is unusual.

Whilst couples living with illegitimate children are common, they are normally registered to the mother, with no father given.

But the GRO for Victoria Wyatt b1897 looks perfectly legit:

WYATT, VICTORIA FLORENCE MAUD PETERS
GRO Reference: 1897 S Quarter in PANCRAS Volume 01B Page 99

...I have broken down and ordered the 1907 Wyatt/Amott marriage cert.

Here's hoping for useful/unambiguous information!

It's here!

Father is Richard Peters (deceased) occupation: China Merchant

My searches found a very close (but false!) match; Bessie Peters born 13 Oct 1874, Calstock to Richard Peters (Copper Miner) and Mary Jane Hutchins.

But she marries Herbert Stephens in 1896, and lives until 1966. There is a continuous clear trail of records attesting to this.
