If anyone has access to 1871 census would be grateful to find out parents for Eliza Gibbs, born 1866 although on BMD birth registered as Lizzie think this must be same person. She married a William Kirby in 1885. Thanks

In 1881 Betsey is still listed as wife, married but no husband present. However more children so he must have been present at some time.
Also Betsey aged from 21 to 46 between 1871-1881!

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
