Thank you all for your replies.
Betsey as I suspected started out as Elizabeth Tomkins.
I did see the Workhouse entry will have to do a bit more research on that.
Matilda Franklin (Betsey's elder sister) was witness to Betsey's marriage to Thomas Parker marriage at Bedford Register's Office 25 December 1858.

Many thanks again
