|
| NOTES: | |
| 1: | Because the Monument Inscription does not give Elizabeth Ellen's surname I had assumed that it was Iddon and was surprised to find her buried under the surname Gregson. She must have remarried late in life. |
| 2: | The above information is taken from the Monument Inscription at Croston Parish Church and from the original burial registers held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. |
