Betsy BEATSON [5519]

Born: 17 Jun 1889, Kinghorn, Fife ²
Marriage: Frank TUTT, (parents known) [15540] on 31 Jan 1925 in 34, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland ¹
Died: 25 Nov 1960, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, MLN aged 71 ³

General Notes:

Mary Young's note.
Perhaps Betsy Beatson's marriage to Frank Tutt was short-lived.
(1) I could find no children born in Scotland to the couple.
(2) When Betsy Beatson Tutt died in 1960, she was registered as a widow. However, an on-line search shows that Frank Tutt died in 1978 in Ashford Kent.
So one might surmise that they couple separated and Frank went home to Kent, leaving Betsy ipso facto widowed.
Note: Informant on her death in 1960was E. Murray, a nephew, of Burntisland, Fife.
