NOTES:
1: There seems to be quite a bit of confusion about this family. I'm convinced that they had another called Ellen but can find no record of her birth or baptism. When Jane married she gave her father's name as Edward and her address was the same as that of both Thomas and Edward Jr. on the day of their weddings. Kathleen Jane was one of her witnesses and Ellen, Thomas and Edward were all witnesses to Kathleen Jane's wedding. Another confusing thing is that Kathleen Jane was baptized Catherine Jane but I'm sure Kathleen was her correct first name.
2: I am still researching this family. Some information is withheld out of respect for the privacy of those who are or may still be living.
3: The above information is from Marriage, Baptism, and Burial Registers held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston.
