It's a possibility, but unfortunately there's no way of confirming, unless you can tie Mary Betts into the family. Probably she was just staying with her though.

I was getting nowhere with Elizabeth. It was only when I started looking for Francis that the marriage 'popped up'.

More by luck than judgment !

Hello again Choccy..... Just had a look at the marr. on ancestry. & the 1841 census..... It all looks to make sense now.
Its looking like Elizabeths mother Francis had a child out of wedlock, Hence maiden name Buttle. Elizabeth probably considered Frances Scuffham as her father, having known no other.
Next step is to find parish records for Diss, Norfolk to find Elizabeths birth.
I had spent ages trying to sort this out & you manage it in less than an hour. Think I will have to go for some tuition.
Thank you so much.
Regards Margaret.

1841 -

Guess what Francis' occupation is - Coachsmith (as on Elizabeth's marriage certificate)

There doesn't seem to be a wife, but there are two children with him.

Thank you Choccy..... will do that.

Thanks for your help

I'm not coming up with anything that helps at the moment.

Your best bet would be to get one of the marriage certificates which 'should' give her birth surname.

The only one I can see is Buttle and nothing before that.


Have you found her father on any census ?
