NOTES:
1: For some reason, perhaps the grave being full, Henry was not buried with his wife and daughter. The first inscription is from their grave and the second (partial) inscription is from the grave of his mother Ann Norris.
2: The above information is taken from the headstones and from the Burial Records for St Michael and All Angel's Church held on microfiche at the Lancashire Record Office.
