Diminutives and nicknames are always tricky. I'm trying to determine if the two Elizabeth/Betty/Bettey Lewises are the same person (or not), despite a difference in birth year (Betty Lewis 1 = 1801 and Betty Lewis 2 = 1973.) If they were two different people, then just more information about each. Betty (one or both) was married to Henry Parfitt (1796 - 1858; Shepton Mallet, Somerset); possible children: Ann Parfitt (1821 - 1861 married to Henry Rabbitts (1836), Sarah Parfitt (1826), John Edward Parfitt (1827), William James Parfitt (1928), Elizabeth Parfitt (1831), [henry] Stephen Parfitt (1838) married to Margaret Jones (1836), Mary Louisa Parfitt (1841/2) and Mary Jane Parfitt (1845.) Thanks in advance for all replies. Kind regards Grant Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
