It is unusual to find two children called Elizabeth and Betsy in the same family, as Betsy is usually a familiar form of the forename Elizabeth. Elizabeth appears to have died between the birth of her second son Andrew in 1853 and the start of Statutory Registration in 1855 as her death has not been found in the Statutory Register. She is listed with husband George and son Peter in the 1851 Census in Inverteil, Kinghorn, aged 24 born Kinghorn. Andrew Downie and Jean Gibb with daughter Jane are also listed at Inverteil.
