NOTES:
1: Thomas Battersby remarried several years after the death of Margaret. Because this second marriage has no bearing on this family history and he had no children with his second wife, I have not included the information regarding that marriage.
2: The above information is taken from original baptism and marriage registers for St Joseph's Church, microfilmed copies of burial records for Preston Cemetery, the National Probate Index, and the census returns on microfiche, all held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston.
