NOTES:
1: Dominic and Mary may have had other children born during the 7 or so years between the births of Elizabeth and Mary Ellen.
2: Mary's first child was apparently born in Liverpool before she was married. Her natural father's surname may have been Reddish, as this was given as a middle name in the 1871 Census.
3: Much of the information on this family was kindly supplied to me by Mike Bainbridge, a descendant of Samuel Weights, and Jane Berry, a descendant of Joseph Weights.
