| NOTES: | |
| 1: | I have not yet found John Jr's baptism record. The register at the Lancashire Archives ends at the end of the year 1876 and John was not baptized there by that date. |
| 2: | William Swarbrick seems to have been born a little more than four months after his parents' marriage and this may be why his date of birth was omitted from the baptism register. |
| 3: | Richard Kirkbride was baptized in a Church of England Church, and these registers did not normally record the date of birth or the names of Godparents. |
| 4: | The above information is taken from the original baptism registers of St. Mary's Newhouse Catholic Church and St Lawrence's Parish Church, both held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston. |
