Good find for the births RonOne
They didn't move far at all over 100 years did they?

It's a pity there was no father named for Nicholas as there was for James.

I wonder if this John Sledding could be Betty Sledding's brother?

There is a possible death registration for Betty Sledding which might be worth looking into on LancashireBMD in 1860, aged 62, at Padiham (about a mile and a half from Altham)

Deaths Jun 1860
