| NOTES: | |
| 1: | The handwriting in the marriage register was very poor and the first name of the male witness was impossible to decipher. |
| 2: | Although difficult to read, the Latin marriage entry does confirm that Mary was the daughter of Richard and Mary Swarbrick. |
| 3: | The above information is taken from the marriage register for St Ignatius' Church in Preston, the baptism register for St Alban's Church in Blackburn, the burial registers for Blackburn Cemetery, and the Census Returns on microfilm - all held at the Lancashire Archives. |
