Title: Thomas Devere Goodgame Betts Brill, Buckinghamshire
Post by: elsie ellen on Monday 27 March 06 11:44 BST (UK)
Thomas was born in Brill, Buckinghamshire in 1845, the son of Richard and Tracy.
I would appreciate if someone could look up the 1851 census for this family please.

Thanks

Elsie

Hi Emma!

Thank you so much for this wonderful information.

I was wondering now if it would be possible to follow this trail further and look back at the 1841 census for  Richard Betts as an 18 year old. I am hoping ether that might lead to information re his parents as well as siblings.

I am also very interested in tracking Richard and Tracey's family and the 1861/1871 censuses.

All I know for sure is that Thomas was in Australia by 1880 as he married in that year in South Australia.
 
Hope you don't mind my asking for more help.

Thanks again

Elsie

Not sure about Elsie, but I am definitely interested in finding more about the Betts family.

My grandmother is Dorothy Lois Betts born on January 17, 1905. So, Thomas Devere Goodgame Betts (born Sep 11, 1845, in Buckinghamshire) was her grandfather and Thomas, his son, was her father. I was wondering if anyone has further information on the family and whether anyone has managed to go back further than Richard and Tracy?
