Looking for Bettles in Islington 1850 onwards

Hello

I'm still searching for any Bettles who lived in Islington around 1850 up to present date.

In particular descendants of Frederick Bettles, Elizabeth Bettles nee Davis/ Davies.

Thank you Lynn

From the 1851 census through to the 1911 census there are 78 Bettles living in Islington on Findmypast.

Of course some of these people will appear in all 7 of these census years so probably less than 78 overall.

If you have any names I can have a look for you.

I can't find a marriage of a Frederick Bettles to an Elizabeth Davis/Davies.

Mary Report 21 Aug 2015 21:30

Elizabeth Davies 1842 born St Sepulchre Smithfield daugther of Edward 1806 died 1864 south wales and Catherine 1805-1884 North Wales. She had a brother Rees William Davies

Elizabeth Davies married John Johnson St Mary's Islington 23/9/1861

1871 Islington
Catherine Davies widow born wales
Rees W Davies
Charles R Johnson grandson born 1863/4 Milan Italy

On the 1881 census returns for Edward and Elizabeth Bettles there is a Kate Johnson born @ 1862/3.

1901 Edward and Elizabeth Bettles
have Catherine Johnson with them.

So it looks like Edward Bettles married Elizabeth Johnson widow nee Davies.
