NOTES:
1: At the time of their marriage Mary Ann lived at Hyslop Street in Toxteth, Liverpool.
2: Robert, perhaps because he was a mariner, gave his address simply as 'Parish of Liverpool'.
3: It is possible that Robert and Mary Ann had as many as 16 children, with only 5 living to adulthood.
4: Some of the above information was provided by my distant cousin Derek Sadler.
