| NOTES: | |
| 1: | For reasons we will probably never understand, their first child, Lawrence, was baptized a second time 4 days later (22 September 1889) at another church. |
| 2: | According to Elsie (Swarbrick) Banks, Thomas and Mary Ann "Polly" Boocock had a total of 13 children, with only Beatrice and Maud surviving infancy. I can find no more than the seven listed above and it may be that the other pregnancies did not go full term. |
| 3: | The above information is from the original church registers held at the Lancashire Record Office and from a certified copy of their marriage certificate. |
