NANCY BETTESWORTH born in BOOTLE, L’pool in 1920

Peter Report 7 May 2021 12:13

I am trying to find the fate of Nancy Bettesworth, the daughter of Albert Bettesworth & Miriam Tomley who may well have settled in North America in the late 1940s or in the 1950s. Her birth was registered in West Derby in the Q/E Jun 1920.(25 04 1920?)
I am especially interested knowing if she married and had children in either the USA or Canada.
I will be grateful for any information you can provide.
Best regards
Peter Westbury, MOSS, southern Norway

Thank you so much for this information; from my own research it doesn’t appear that she returned to the UK permanently to marry or that she passed away in the UK.
Kind regards
Peter
