I have found a couple of possible baptisms for Betty:
24 Dec 1775 Burnley, father John
15 Jun 1776 Altham, parents Henry and Alice.

I need to check into these because I got them from the IGI a while ago and there may be some better transcriptions now. My Betty had ten children that I know of, and none named John, Henry or Alice! Her last child was born in 1825, so she can't have been born much before 1775.

Okay, the 24 Dec 1775 Burnley one with father John does give abode as Habergham Eaves (from Lancs OPC). The Altham one isn't on Lancs OPC to check abode. But it does have baptisms from Altham for that year, so perhaps the church was wrong on the IGI and on FamilySearch, or maybe Lancs OPC missed it. Update - abode for the Altham baptism is Haslingden.
Then there is one 30 Mar 1783 at Burnley, father Henry, abode Habergham Eaves. It could be that her age on the censuses and death and burial records is wrong, as 29-30 would have been quite old to get married for the first time.
