8752	There is a baptism record for a second Thomas, 24 5 1840 at St Mary, Tarleton, but as the first one is alive in the 1841 cesus, age 8, this is assumed to be an error for William, who is 1 in the same census.	Bannister, William (I16444)
8753	There is a baptism to a Thomas and Hannah Spencer of a Mary, 27.5.1792, but at "Collegiate, Manchester" - no abode given.	Spencer, Thomas (I11330)
8754	There is a burial in October 1841 but this is ruled out as Richard as absent in the 1841 census (June), and is widow in living with his brother William by whom she has had children.	Seddon, Richard (I13818)
8755	There is a burial record, 20.1.1875 at St Cuthbert, Halsall, for a Jane Sutton (her mother's married name), age three-and-a-half.	Santon, Jane (I15743)
8756	There is a confusing baptism entry at St Matthias of a second William, 27.12.1885, born to Thomas and Margaret on 18.12.1885 aboard "David" on the canal, for whom no further record found. The first William is in the 1891 census, age 10, with his sister Elizabeth living with their aunt Mary (nee Ashton) Winstanley in Downholland.	Cheetham, William (I00280)
8757	There is a daughter Ellen, 11 months, listed with Richard and Ellen in the 1881 census, but this is believed to be their niece, daughter of Luke and Mary, who are on the canal. There is no record of an Ellen born to Richard.	Pye, Richard (I02404)
8758	There is a Jane Aspinwall, daughter of William (boatman) and Ann of Burscough, baptised 11.11.1883 St John the Baptist, Burscough, which matches a birth record on Lancs BMD, 1883 Scarisbrick, mother's maiden name Robinson.	Aspinall, Jane (I03857)

8771	There is a second baptism, also d of Margaret, singlewoman, on 15 2 1857.	Edmondson, Mary (I07469)
8772	There is a Silvester Scott, age 11 months, with this family in the 1841 census, but this is Silvester Seedall, son of Jane, whose husband died in 1837. She remarried William Carr, and Silvester appears as Carr in subsequent censuses.	Scott, George (I17841)
8773	There is a village of Coppenhall near Stafford, but the church there is St Lawrence and this marriage is confirmed as St Michael in Cheshire BMDs, with the couple's abode given on the MC as Church Coppenhall, which is near Crewe.	Family (F18037)
8774	There is also a death record in Q2 1857 Leeds.	Bulmer, Marana (I14015)
8775	There is an Abstaineer's Declaration signed ba a Peter Rimmer in 1909 enrolling him in the members' book of the St Mark's, Scarisbrick, Branch of the Liverpool Diocesan Church of England Temperance Society. No details other than name given.	Rimmer, Peter (I05028)
8776	There is an age discrepancy, with Thomas listed as 38 in the 1861 census and 47 in 1871, but his brother Edward is with him in 1861 and brother Robert is an immediate neighbour in 1871. Possibly he was born before his parents were married and not baptised until afterwards.	Spencer, Thomas (I17593)
8777	There is an Arnold Molyneux, 6, born Widnes listed as a son with this couple in the 1901 census, but he appears as Arnold Molyneux Young, 16, a telegraph messenger, born Warrington in 1911, a nephew. Frederick and Elizabeth are married 19 years with no children born.	Molyneux, Frederick (I19371)
8778	There is an earlier baptism for Henry, son of Richard and Margaret, at St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk, on 24.9.1852, birthplace given as Newburgh	Carrington, Henry (I01736)
8779	There is an earlier baptism recorded on Jan 15 1866 at St John the Baptist, Burscough, thought to be her birth date. Oddly, this is the birth date given in the 1939 census for Sarah wife of Robert Spencer, who must be Edward and Ann's second Sarah, b 1870.	Spencer, Sarah (I12295)
8780	There is an earlier baptism, identical apart from the date, with a note "PB in margin" on 9.3.1867	Halsall, Robert (I06213)
8781	There is another Abraham Varley birth registered in Skipton, Q1 1875.	Varley, Abraham (I13993)
8782	There is another baptism, at St Nicholas, Liverpool, on 11.7.1841 to Henry and Ann	Disley, Henry (I09911)
8783	There is another boatman George (Tillotson) Varley, b Leeds 1842, son of John Varley, waterman, who must be related to this family. George b1842 married Annie Co(r)dingley and their daughter Maria Varley married Skipton boatman Richard Armstrong, but the link needed to connect these families to this tree has not yet been found (August 2014) - KRJ.	Varley, George (I13924)
8784	There is another James born to William and Mary in the St Anne, Scarisbrick, records, born and baptised on 22.6.1820. Either this is another family, though no other record of such has been found, or the 1815 James has died - but no burial record has been found and the 1820 James would have been only 18 at marriage when his age is stated as "full" (ie 21+).	Halsall, James (I07745)
8785	There is another John Cheetham, baptised at St Michael, Aughton, on 28.12.1817 to William Cheetham, labourer, and Ruth of Lydiate, but this John's marriage record identifies his father as James, boatman, who appears on the same page of the 1841 census.	Cheetham, John (I10114)
8786	There is another possible baptism, 14.2.1773 St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk, to Thomas and Ellin Georgeson.	Georgeson, Ellen (I02322)
8787	There is another Thomas, b 1801 Northwich to John and Sarah (nee Boden), but he has been discounted because of his age and birthplace (Northwich v Wharton).	Newall, Thomas (I43731)
8788	There is conflicting evidence of John's mother's first name, given as Mary in his baptism record, but Ann in an Affiliation Notice dated March 7 1838. This was delivered to Hiram Anderson, waterman, on March 16 1838 by the Warrington Overseers of the Poor stating that they would seek an Order of Affiliation and Maintenance at the General Quarter Sessions in Kirkdale (Liverpool) on April 19 1838 "of a male child born a Bastard on the body of Ann Ellis, singlewoman of Warrington, who is poor and unable to support the said child" and that she "charges you with being the true and only putative father". The date of the Notice was five days before Hiram Anderson married Rachel Davies. John was baptised as son of Hiram (waterman) and Mary Ellis, and is in Warrington workouse in 1841 age 6 with syster Elizabeth. Surname entered as Heanderson in marriage record on Lancs OPC, Handerson on IGI. Named in Hiram Anderson's will as his illegitimate son, "John Ellis, now trading as John Ellis Anderson", to whom he left ?100, "this being quite sufficient after the great financial assistance he has had from me from time to time". His own 1924 probate record states: "Anderson, John Ellis (the elder) of 352 Beckwith St, Birkenhead, died 23 December 1923. Probate London 26 January to John Ellis Anderson (the younger) waterman and Elizabeth Ellen Anderson (wife of the said John Ellis Anderson jun). Effects ?4,026.13s.1."	Anderson, John Ellis (I28936)
8789	There is some doubt over Ann's maiden name: the baptism record confusingly says she is the daughter of Barnaby Hesketh, spinster; and the marriage record for Thomas Hilton and Ann Edmondson (wid) gives the bride's father as Barnaby Hesketh. But the Ann widowed when William Edmondson died in 1848 married him as Ann Watkinson, with no father's name given. Also, the baptism record for their second child states: 'Surname originally entered as Watkinson, then deleted and replaced with Edmondson'.	Hesketh, Ann (I01957)
8790	There was some doubt about the identity of James's first wife as no marriage record was found for a Hannah Stainer. The 1860 one in Liverpool was initially confusing and thought to be either another couple (now ruled out as no matching Alice appears in the censuses) or an error - but the transcription has been confirmed as accurate in the original parish record at the LDS Family History Centre, Kew. It reads:- James Cheetham, full age, Boatman, Bachelor, abode Crosshall St, father James Cheetham, Boatman; Alice Taylor, minor, Spinster, abode Sir Thos Bgs, father John Taylor, Coachman; Witnesses Thomas Spencer & Sarah Cheetham. The participants did not sign the register but used a mark X, and the bride's name is now believed to be the result of a mishearing. James's wife appears as Annie in the 1861 census, and the names "Alice Taylor" and "Annie Stainer" sound remarkably alike. Several of the children's birth records on Lancs BMD give mother's maiden name as Stanner, Stanier or Stainer, and there is a Hannah Stainer in 1841 and 1851, daughter of John and Mary. They are in Sheffield in 1841, all born in Yorkshire, Hannah age 1, John a horse keeper. In 1851 they are in Liverpool with John a Coachman and Hannah, b Sheffield, age 12. In 1861 James's wife is listed as Annie, age 20 b Liverpool (parents' abode), and in 1871 as Hannah, age 29 b York.	Stainer, Hannah (I02885)
8791	There were two George Lightowlers, both watermen, baptised in 1806, Knottingley - probably cousins - one to Thomas and Mary on April 20, the other to John and Mary on May 25. This George is absent in the 1861 census, but wife Mary is married (not widowed).	Lightowler, George (I58703)
8792	There were two George Lightowlers, both watermen, baptised in 1806, Knottingley - probably cousins - one to Thomas and Mary on April 20, the other to John and Mary on May 25. This George's wife Sarah is widowed in the 1861 census.	Lightowler, George (I57297)
8793	There's a marriage 6.10.1827 at St Peter, Leeds, between John Kendall, cloth dresser, and Hannah Sharp. (Unlikely)	Kendall, John (I08766)
8794	Thereis a second baptism on Lancs OPC for Margaret Ann Lowe, child of Thomas and Hannah, on 3.10.1880 art St Stephen, Astley, but this must be for Mary Alice whose birth is recorded as 1880 on Lancs BMD, as both girls appear in the 1881 census.	Lowe, Mary Alice (I17129)
8795	Theresa in 1871 census and as witness to mother's second marriage.	Lee, Thirza (I60578)
8796	Thereza in marriage record on Cheshire BMDs.	Robinson, Thirza (I34751)
8797	Thimothy Bayley in baptism record. Family name spelt Bayley in early records, but Bailey in almost all censuses.	Bailey, Timothy (I20123)
8798	Third son of Simpson and Ann in baptism record.	Chatterley, William (I60428)
8799	This baptism record, child of William, sailor, and Betty, is suspicious as there is no matching birth or death record, and would be too soon after the birth of Isabella.	Iddon, William (I07525)
8800	This family connects so many other boatfamilies that we have included several individuals with no direct canal link, despite our usual rule "within one generation of a boatman".	Baybutt, Joseph (I01539)
