Family 1 William BELLETT, bap. 29 Apr 1814, St. Andrew’s Church, East Allington, Devon, England , d. Sep Q 1874, Totnes Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 59 years) Married? Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry Notes - At the time of the 1851 census William BELLETT was lodging with Elizabeth Stephens [married name] and her children, Elizabeth's husband being absent. In 1861 he was still there, but for some reason now using his mother's maiden name, TRANT. By 1871 William and Elizabeth were making it clear they were living as man and wife, as, as well as William, Elizabeth and her children were now recorded as 'TRANT', although the marriage registration index (FreeBMD) and the index of PR data transcribed on FMP both lack any sign of a marriage between the two.
* Given the absence of her husband I suspect some or most of her children were those of William BELLETT / TRANT - I might have which were whose wrong. *

Family 2 Richard STEPHENS, d. Yes, date unknown Married 4 Jul 1841 St. Mary’s Church, Totnes, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 12 Jun 2015)
GRO ref: Stephens, Richard to LEY, Elizabeth q3 1841 Totnes RD 9 535
We cannot discover who Elizabeth married from the censuses, since no husband is with her in the 1851 or 61 censuses, despite her being shown as married and not a widow.
From the marriage and baptism registers it seems clear that the NN Stephens = Elizabeth NN marriage for this couple was that of Richard Stephens to Elizabeth Ley. It was the only one in Totnes at an appropriate time, and baptisms of 2 children in Totnes who fit those of this couple as in the census show the father as Richard, and to add to that her maiden name was given as a middle name to one child.
* Given the absence of her husband I suspect some or most of her children were those of William BELLETT / TRANT - I might have which where whose wrong. *
