NOTES:
1: Samuel and Joseph are the only children mentioned in their father's Will of 1841.
2: As Margaret is not mentioned in her father's Will or the Will of her uncle Thomas Norris in 1852, we have to presume that she died before 1841 - probably in infancy.
3: Alice Molyneux and her youngest son Joseph were still living at the time of the 1841 Census - the last positive record I have of them.
4: The above information is taken from Baptism, Marriage, Burial and Census records, as well as the Will of John Molyneux, all held at the Lancashire Record Office.
