William Halton and Betty christened Mary in Rufford in 1814

Alice Halton or Houghton, parents William Halton or Houghton and Betty, was christened in Standish in 1823

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JW9W-F7V

Standish is between Rufford and Wigan.
I expect Betty Bimson was christened in Wigan although the baptism record shows only mother Mary.

Did you search at familysearch for marriages? by both spouses' names, to consider all the possibilities as one would?

and this one?

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NN3M-K88

Name: William Halton
Spouse's Name: Betty Bimson
Event Date: 02 May 1803
Event Place: Croston, Lancashire, England

Croston and Rufford are about 2 miles apart ...

I realise Betty can be an alternative to Elizabeth, Eliza and so on with this in mind i have tried to find a marriage to William Houghton without success..

Thank you Potty for your help.
