NOTES: | |
1: | On the night of the 1841 Census, taken on 6 June 1841, William's age was given as 14 days. This would seem to indicate that he was born on or about the 24th of May 1841. |
2: | When Richard (1) was baptized in 1852 the surname was spelled Wheights. When Robert was baptized in 1847 the name was spelled White - a common error. Sarah was baptized plain Sarah rather than Sarah Ann as she was later known. |
3: | The above baptism information was taken from microfilmed copies of the original registers held at the Lancashire Record Office. |
