Betty Sutcliff

Betty was born in 1763 in Bolton.¹

Birth Notes
- Aged 75 in 1841
  Aged 92 when died in 1855

She died at the age of 92 in 1855 in Salford. Her burial was on October 7th, 1841 at St. Peter's (Bolton).²

Death Notes
- The 27 Oct 1841 burial may be wrong record for two reasons: Betty was a widow, so not "Wife of John Mather", and the age at death should be about 75, not 64. However, there is no other death record that matchyes a Betty of Elizabeth aged 75 in 1841.
  
  There are other John and Betty marriages 1790-1810 in Wigan (Betty Baxter & Houghton), Blackburn (Betty Walmsley), Bury (Betty Bentley), Leigh (Betty Ingham), Walmersley (Betty Bentley) that could be this death.
  
  Burial: 27 Oct 1841 St Peter, Bolton, Lancs.

General Notes
- From 1788 to 1811 Betty was always known as "Betty", never Elizabeth.
  
  "Elizabeth", 75, with her daugter and son-in-law William Eardley (a plumber) in 1841 at Partengton Court, Regent Road, Salford. Occupation Widow (which she most probably was) was crossed out.
  
  The only matching Bolton death record for an Elizabeth or Betty Mather aged over 75 after 1841 is a death registered at Atherton for Betty in 1855, aged 87. The GRO Salford death register shows Betty Mather aged 92
