_______________

In James Lock’s will she was identified as “Mrs Anne Betts (now lodging at at the house of Mr Dyer in Kings Street near Saint Ann’s Church Soho in the County of Middlesex)” so it is likely that she was buried at St Anne, Soho and she was the upper of the above two entries and died in October 1761.
