NOTES:
1: I have only just begun researching this family (August 2012).
2: Two and a half years after Florence Catherine's death, Thomas married Elizabeth Hill.
3: I have been unable to find the baptism records for any of the children and suspect that they were baptized at St Wilfrid's Catholic Church in Longridge. Those records are still held at the church.
4: Some information is withheld out of respect for the privacy of those who are, or may be, still living.
5: The above information is taken from the original marriage register for St Joseph's Catholic Church, the original burial register for St Lawrence's Parish Church, in Longridge and transcripts of burial registers for St Wilfrid's Catholic Church in Longridge, all held at the Lancashire Archives.
