| NOTES: | |
| 1: | Alice Mary was baptized Mary Alice but always called Alice. I think this is an error in the register as I don't think George & Mary would have named two daughters Mary. |
| 2: | William died in infancy but I have not found his burial record. He is not buried in the Roman Catholic section of Preston Cemetery, which opened in 1855. |
