NOTES:
1: Thomas' occupation at the time of his marriage was shown as "badder" but this was probably meant to be badger - a seller of food and/or provisions. This would fit with the occupation of shopkeeper shown in later records.
2: Thomas died the year after Ann's father and she died just 2 years after her husband - leaving Robert, age 9, Ellen, age 7, and John, age 4, orphans.
3: The above information is taken from Baptism, Marriage and Burial records held at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston.
