Hello,
Mary married Thomas Beagley in Frensham in 1787. Can anyone find a baptism for her in the local area? She died in Farringdon, Hampshire in the 1840s. In the 1841 Census she says that she's born outside of Hampshire.
I'd appreciate any help!

I thought Bettesworth quite an unusual surname until I started looking for baptisms
Mary 31 March 1749 Lambeth St Mary parents Charles and Mary
(From the Surrey baptism Transcriptions)
That is the only one I can find in Surrey but there are also these...
Mary 26 July 1752 St Peter Nottingham Thomas and Sarah
(From the Notts Baptism Index)
Mary & March 1755 Alfriston, Sussex Robert and Sarah
Mary 20 July 1760 Stedham, Sussex Edmund and Joan
Mary 29 March 1761 Easebourne William and Mary (Says Easebourne but could be Eastbourne)
Mary Griffin 9 February 1752 Pagham, Sussex mother Mary
(All from fs)

The Bettesworth (and variants) were often found in Trotton, Midhurst, Woolbeding, Chithurst, Iping, Elstead, Linchmere, Treyford, Kirdford, Fyning, Rogate, Turwyke, Harting, Easeborne, and Wollavington in West Sussex, so it might help you to look in those directions.
