Betty Beccah Kelsall (1764-1822)

[Andrew]

My interest in the Kelsall family starts with Betty Beccah Kelsall (1764-1822), my GGGG Grandmother. Her father was James Kelsall but he is difficult to trace back. It seems that he had some connection with the Liverpool Kelsalls but it has not yet been possible to make any meaningful connection. I have been greatly assisted by Anne who responded to a message of mine on an Ancestry message board. The name Kelsall was used in my family for quite a long time, the last known example I have found was my grandfather's brother William Kelsall Ballinger (1890-1892). I am looking forward to exploring the connection with the Kelsalls as it is the furthest back that I have managed to research.

In looking over the St Peter Liverpool baptisms for the 1700s (all from IGI batch P020271) I had copied these over when it used to be easy to do so from the IGI. It is interesting that the Isaac name pops up at St Peter, and may tie in later with the group Helen Wilson was looking for:

I had thought that if Betty Becca was to be found, she would have been born as
Elizabeth Rebecca KELSALL, but as you have all mentioned this has not been proven.
It is quite a complicated family to research, but between us we should make some headway

Carol LLOYD
