NOTES:
1: Jane signed the Marriage Register with her X.
2: Ellen Bramwell (1) obviously died before 1834 when the second Ellen was born but I have not been able to locate her burial record.
3: If the recorded dates are correct Ellen Bramwell (2) could not have been the daughter of Richard as he died well over a year before her birth.

NOTES:
1: At the time of her second marriage Jane was described as a 37 year old widow, the daughter of John Norris, Innkeeper, deceased.
2: An Ellen Bramwell died in Cheshire in the 3rd quarter of 1867 but the GRO Index lists her as being 39 when she should have been 33. I suspect that this is an error and that this is the correct reference.
3: The above information is taken from Baptism, Marriage and Burial records held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston, and from the monument inscriptions at Croston Parish Church.
