1861 Census - RG 9; Piece: 2619; Folio: 140; Page: 23

1871 census, with Betsey presumably down as Hannah - same age as previously, same relationship to Head. The record definitely says just Hannah:

THOMAS, Fanny Wife F 52 1819 Cheshire

She is not with the Thomases in 1881, and probably is the following death:

Haven't checked censuses for any other surviving children yet, but both Fanny and Betsy/Hannah Betty were very creative with the ages they gave the enumerators!

re Thomas and Mary Ann Dutton named in the Will:
their probable marriage:
Manchester, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930 (Cathedral) about Thomas Dutton
Name:Thomas Dutton - Widower - Traveller
Age: 38

NB I'm sure I've seen records of a Bebbington/Goulburn marriage somewhere, so Mary Ann may have been some degree of cousin. FS have a Mary Bebbington marrying John Goulbourn at Holy Trinity Chester, 21 January 1784, and there are a number of baptisms at Malpas following this.
Thomas is not in the list of my Duttons.
