There is a limited number of Betsy KINGs about in 1841 and 1851 of the right age.
There is one in Halesworth, Suffolk, aged 8 with George and Maria CILLETT and their daughter Anne
age 2months.
In 1851 she is still with this family [now COLLETT], but her surname has become COLLETT and she is
listed as daughter.

There is one in Chignal Smealy in Essex [hundred of Chelmsford, aub-registration district Writtle]
but she is with a family: She is still with her family as Elizabeth 1851. - is this the one you
found?

In 1851 there is an Elizabeth KING born Hadleigh aged 18 a servant in Ipswich.
In 1841 she appears to be with her parents William and Sarah in Hadleigh.

Your choice appears to be between this last and the Betsy KING/COLLETT.

What you really need is the marriage certificate of her and Robert CALVE[R]SBERT which should give
her father's name. As it appears to have been Registry office, you will have to get a certificate.

The Hadleigh born servant appears to ahve many brothers and sisters - do any appear with her in
later censuses?

In 1891 she appears as Betsy SCOTT, having married George SCOTT in
Mar 1887 (99%)
CALVESBERT Betsey Ipswich 4a853
he possibly dies
Deaths Dec 1890 (>99%)
Scott George 65 Ipswich 4a526
Betsey appears to marry again
Marriages Dec 1891 (>99%)
Scott Betsey Ipswich 4a1698
Watling James Ipswich 4a1698
and is still alive in 1901
