Is it possible that Betty became Elizabeth/Betty Robinson?

- Elizabeth Robinson had a son called Earnshaw in 1851
- both were born in Wilsden around the same time
- her sister Mary's son Timothy named his father as James Robinson when he married
- An Abraham Robinson married an Elizabeth Earnshaw in Sep 1843 in Bradford
One problem is Elizabeth Robinson said her husband was Abraham on the 1851 and 1871 census. His name was crossed out in 1851 and his occupation was M D N Y V in 1871. At other times he wasn't there. I suspect that his existence was somewhat made up!!

Some oddities over her husband, Abraham.
- his name was crossed out in 1851 suggesting he wasn't there
- in 1861 he wasn't there
- in 1871 his occupation is M.D.N.Y.V. - what is that? In 1868 he was described as a Medical Herbalist
