Hi folks, I'm trying to find out more about farmer William Mason, having seen the 1851 census - also his widowed daughter Betsey Hodgkinson - living at Burnt Hurst, Stretton-on-Dunsmore. Any info other than that census would be much appreciated. Thankyou, Nicky. :-)

When did his daughter marry? I can't see a marriage for Betsey. She is aged 14 on the 1841 census so her marriage should be on FreeBmd

Thankyou all but he's a farmer on the 1851 census at Burnt Hurst (farm) Stretton-on-Dunsmore with 110 acres and 2 labourers. His daughter Betsy is then a Railway Labourer's Widow with a daughter Mary aged I year (born in Scotland).
Betsy ( Betsy/Betsey Hodgkisson/Hodgkinson) then married a servant James Berry (residing with them in that census). James was my grandmother's grandfather.

Mary was born Scotland so maybe Betsey married there.

Perhaps Betsy never married her daughter Mary's father and just used the surname of "Hedgekinson" on the 1851 census to "Save Face"
I see she later married James Berry....
