NOTES: | |
1: | The witnesses to their wedding were probably church officials as the same two men were witnesses to every wedding at that church in February 1827 except one. |
2: | Much of the above information is taken from various records held on microfilm at the Lancashire Archives, with further information about the children of John & Ellen provided by three of their descendants, Joy Seamons, Margaret Shaw and Robert Stock. |
