There are quite a few possible baptisms but I'm wondering about this one because the parents' names match my Catherine's eldest daughter and third son (first two sons both named after Catherine's husband's father)
2 Feb 1744/5 St Andrew, Leyland, Lancashire, Catherine Wright, daughter of William and Alice, abode Leyland.

Other children of William and Alice Wright of Leyland:
Richard baptised 1742, buried 1747
James baptised 1743, buried 1755
William baptised 1746
Hannah baptised 1747
Elizabeth and Mercy both baptised 1752, Elizabeth buried 1756
Jane baptised 1754, perhaps the Jennet who was buried 1756.

There is a marriage at Woodplumpton 15 Nov 1773 between Thomas Smith and Mercy Wright, both of Woodplumpton. There don't seem to be very many Mercy Wrights, so this could be Catherine's sister having gone to live with the Clarksons. There is a William Wright burial 23 Feb 1767 at Leyland, but I haven't found what happened to Alice yet. Still, it seems to fit together for my Catherine to be the one from Leyland.
