Yes it is her she marries JosephDark mis transcribed in 1861 as Park but she was born Monkleigh 1837 so it fits well I wonder was it a double wedding it would be soo good to see the registers
So Betsey is conected to 3 Janes all born 1837 her sister her daughter and her step daughter

okay ... this is what we have

in 1841
Monkleigh
Salterns cottages
John ARNOLD, ag lab, 40
Anna 15 glover
Eliza 10
Jane 5............. she marries Joseph DARK
all born in county

1841
WG, Loverings
Samuel HOOKWAY 55
Mary 50
Ann 15
Charles 15
William 10
Jane HOOKWAY 7 .......she marries Joshua Arnold
/
Betsey BLIGHT, glover, 25
Jane BLIGHT  7 ................she marries Thomas FISHER
Betsey 2
all born in county

1851
Rudd, Monkleigh
John Arnold , 50, bargeman, b Ashreigney
BETSEY, 37 b WG
Jane dau, 14, glover, b MONKLEIGH ...she is d/o John Jury/Arnold and Ann Berman
Ann 6 b ditto d/o John and Betsey
William 4 b ditto s/o ditto
Charles 2 months b ditto, s/o ditto
Jane BLIGHT step dau , glover, 14 b WG d/o Betsey HOOKWAY
Betsey BLIGHT step dau, 12, glover, b WG d/o John Blight and Betsey Hookway
Harriet Jones, visitor, glover, 18, b WG

then in 1860 Jane Hookway marries Joshua Arnold ...this is Betsey Blight nee Hookway's sister

In 1861
Providence st, Bideford
Joshua ARNOLD, 26 shipwright b Landcross
Jane wife , 26 b Wear Giffard .........................Jane HOOKWAY b Wear Giffard, Betsey's sister
BETSEY BLIGHT visitor, 22, Gloveress, b ditto .... so she is visting her AUNT as she is d/o Betsey Blight nee Hookway

deb

do I have this correct??

[deb usa]

hold on ... I need to amend my last post 

oh my getting confused with Janes

[Trees]

As you have now add in the 1841 census for Samuel HOOKWAY and you have the third Jane Betsey's sister Jane HOOKWAY daughter of Samuel and Mary also 1837 ish
In that house hold you have Aunt and neice both Jane both born about the same time

Okay ...I'll do that

who does Mary J ARNOLD, grand dau belong to?
In 1871 she is with Jon and Betsey at Providence rd , aged 4 b BIDEFORD .. she is with Betsey in 1881 as well!

1881
12 Providence Rd, Bideford
Betsey Arnold, head wid, 68, gen labourers widow, b Wear Gifford
Mary Jane Bright, 14, grand dau, b Bideford

so in relation to Betsey Blight nee Hookway b 1816 we have

her SISTER, b 1834 WG
Jane Hookway = Joshua ARNOLD 1860

Her Daughter, b 1837 WG
Jane BLIGHT = Thomas FISHER

Her Step daughter, b 1837 Monkleigh
Jane Arnold = Joseph Dark


phew

deb

Thats what I think the situation is then we can marry the three janes
sister Jane HOOKWAY married Joshuah ARNOLD 9n 1860
Daughter married Thomas FISHER 1855
Step Daughter married Joseph Dark 1855

now who was Mary Jane were there two of them too just to confuse us or have we yet another name change
