    Notes 
    • No marriage record found, but Ann's identity established by the presence of her father in the 1871 census.
      There is a marriage on June 30 1856 at St Nicholas, Liverpool, between a William Gill (minor?), son of Richard, boatman, and an Ann Jackson(?), father Richard, boatman. No such Ann Jackson found in birth/baptism records or censuses.

  • Notes 
    • Marriage record has William as a minor, so it's possible that this William died (there's a burial in Ormskirk,.age 4, in 1835) and that Richard and Cicely had a younger William, but no birth record can be found.
