If it's her then she's knocked a couple of years off her age!

Becky is surely just a variation/nickname of Rebecca

Hi Everyone, I've been banging my head against a wall and it hurts! Please, can anyone help?

Rebecca HAMILTON was born 28 Feb 1874 Newtownstewart CCounty Tyrone Northern Ireland daughter of James HAMILTON and Isabella HAMILTON. I can find her on the 1901 census and 1911 possibly as a servant. We known she was buried with her mother and father but with the name Becky BROWNE (Not on gravestone). I've been trying to find a marriage to a **** BROWNE and there is one in the Strabane district in 1915. Ah I thought I'll look on the 1939 register then realised the Irish wouldn't have a need for that so maybe a 1939 register for Northern Ireland but cannot find one. So that is where I am in trying to find who the Becky BROWNE is in that grave. Any thoughts please?
