| NOTES: | |
| 1: | Francis Joseph's marriage note added to his baptism entry is full of errors. He was actually married in 1935 and the marriage was registered in Bolton - quite a way from Birkdale. |
| 2: | St Ignatius' baptism registers did not record the families' addresses. |
| 3: | The above information is taken from the original baptism registers for St Joseph's Church [RCPJ 1/22] and St Ignatius' Church [RCPG 1/5 & 1/6] held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston. |
