| NOTES: | |
| 1: | The naming of the father on an illegitimate child's baptism record is very unusual but without it we would never have been able to determine who Richard's father was. |
| 2: | I have searched the various churches in and around Clitheroe and Hurst Green but have not yet found the baptism records for all of children. |
| 3: | The birthdate for Eunice Robinson is taken from the International Genealogical Index (IGI). |
| 4: | As a rule, early Church of England baptism registers did not record the child's date of birth, but some clergy entered the birth dates in as additional information. |
| 5: | Church of England and Methodist baptism registers did not normally record the names of Godparents. |
| 6: | The above baptism records were taken from microfilmed copies of the Bishop's Transcripts for the respective churches, held by the Lancashire Archives. |
