NOTES:
1: Both James Swarbrick Sr and Mary Ann Richardson were born in Preston and almost certainly baptized at St Mary's Catholic Church but the baptisms records for that period are missing.
2: Unusually for the 1830s, all parties to the marriage of James and Mary Ann signed their own names.
3: The above information is from the original registers of St Ignatius Catholic Church, St John's Parish Church, and transcripts of the registers of St Mary's and St Wilfrid's churches in Preston, and from the burial records for Preston Cemetery, all held at the Lancashire Archives.
