Thanks for the reply. Her maiden name was Watson. Unfortunately a lot of the 1841 census for Fife is missing. I do know that her father George was in Wemyss at the time of her marriage in 1844 ( from OPR) and does appear to have been there in 1841. ( There is a Betsy recorded in this family in 1841 in Wemyss - surname incorrectly transcribed as Walson on Ancestry). Her mother was Catherine Taylor. There are OPRs for likely siblings George and William in Markinch. DNA seems to confirm a younger sister Catherine.
I did wonder about County too!
