Sorry I can't help with your Betty (either of them!) but I had a GG
grandmother who was baptised as Betsy and then at marriage was recorded as
Elizabeth.
I was surprised to find the name becoming more formal rather than the other
way round, but possibly she (or her parents) later thought that she would
achieve greater status as Elizabeth!
