| NOTES: | |
| 1: | All of the above baptisms at St. Michael & All Angels Parish Church, Croston, Lancashire, England. |
| 2: | It appears that Mary's baptism was an emergency baptism at home by someone other than a minister, hence the term "Lay Baptism". It may be that Mary was not expected to survive but did and was later "received into the church". |
| 3: | The above information is taken from Baptism records held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. |
