Do not confuse with Betsy Halstead, daughter of William and Ann from Higher Booths, who married William Ashworth in 1879.
Although married, Betsy Brooks was living with her brothers Joseph and Thomas in 1881. Robert did record her on the census at 2 Mulliner St, Little Bolton though, but she couldnt be in two places at one time!
Betsy was widowed in 1901, and living with Robert's brother Samuel and his family. It's likely she remarried in 1902.
