NOTES:
1: I have only just begun researching this family (August 2012).
2: The marriage register incorrectly records Joseph William's father's name as Joseph William. It was actually John. The St Joseph's registers appear to contain numerous errors.
3: The above information is taken from the original baptism and marriage registers for St Joseph's Church and St Ignatius Church, both in Preston, microfilmed copies of burial records for Preston Cemetery held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston, the census returns on-line, and the indexes of births, marriages and deaths on-line at www.lancashirebmd.org.uk.
