Talk:Betty Thatcher

surnames

 * In 1972, she married at the Kensington and Chelsea registry office and became Betty Brown. She divorced in 1976, and changed her name back to Newsinger in the early 1980s . . ..

But when and how did she become Thatcher? (I thought a vandal might have replaced "Thatcher" with "Brown" here, but it's "Brown" in the earliest version of this passage.) —Tamfang (talk) 05:23, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I suspect that the Ellen E Newsinger who married William H Thatcher in Hammersmith in early 1949 was Betty's mother, and that William Thatcher became her stepfather and she took his name - until, apparently, she changed it back to Newsinger in the 1980s due to disliking the association with the then-Prime Minister.
