Father of Betty Barrow (1825) was a Weaver

The ‘manufacturer’ also had a daughter Hannah who married in 1843

Just a wild suggestion, following the 1858 marriage above - but it's a common name, as is Betty/Betsy Barrow:

Betty Yates
in the 1861 England Census
Name Betty Yates
Gender Female
Age 38
Relation Lodger
Estimated Birth Year 1823
Where born Bolton, Lancashire, England
Civil parish Crompton
Ecclesiastical parish East Crompton

Sub-registration district Crompton

Forget the 1852 marriage above.

This marriage looks much more likely - maybe ??:

Betsy Barrers
in the Manchester, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930
Name Betsy Barrers [Betsy Barrow] - spinster
Gender Female
Marriage Age Full Age
Event Type Marriage
Marriage Date 3 Mar 1858
Marriage Place Bolton-le-Moors, St Peter, Lancashire, England
Parish as it Appears Bolton-le-Moors
Father
Joseph Barrow [manufacturer ]
Spouse
John Yates [ widower, overlooker ]
Reference Number GB127.L243/1/4/44

It doesn't say that Joseph's deceased - which proves nothing.

Hi - I have sought help/suggestions etc on a few platforms - I'm hoping someone will have the magic answer!!

Betty Barrow was baptised in Bolton 20 November 1825 - parents were Joseph and Alice.

Siblings were Samuel, Robert, Benjamin, Ralph, Sarah, John, Ann, Joseph and James.

1841 census shows her (mistranscribed as Barrone!) living in Heywood, with brother Benjamin, his wife Esther (Ester), their children Mary, Samuel and another of Betty’s brothers, James (baptised 1818).

No trace of either Betty or James in the 1851 census – have strived to find marriages. I think James may have died.

I’m aware christian names can alter (Betsy, Elizabeth, Nan, Nancy etc etc).

For info, father Joseph, who wad a weaver, was buried on 16 February 1837 at St Mary the Virgin, Deane, Lancs.
Mother Alice, was born in 1783 (Alice Lomax) - she married William Walch on
18 Sept 1799. He died. Alice remarried on 17 Dec 1802.

Thank you

Phil
