NOTES: | |
1: | John Ascroft and Jane Norris were probably married by licence due to Jane being a minor at the time of their marriage. She would have also needed her mother's consent. |
2: | John Ascroft was almost certainly the (unofficially) adopted son of William and Elizabeth Ascroft. |
3: | William Ascroft only lived a few hours and I can not find a record of his baptism. It is possible that he had an emergency baptism at home. |
4: | Ada Mary was baptized Mary Ada but I have used her name as it was recorded in later records, including her marriage record, where she was called Ada Mary. |
5: | The above information is taken from Marriage and Burial records held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston, and from monument inscriptions at Croston Parish Church. |
