  • Notes 
    • Reade in 1871 census.
      The family is recorded twice in the 1881 census, on the canal at Bootle cum Lineacre and in Cross street, Wigan. The parents' ages differ - 38 and 29 on the canal but 33 and 32 at home, though the five children's ages are identical. Another difference is that Ellen's birthplace is given as Burscough on the canal and the children's as Aspull or Wigan, whereas at home they are all given as Springs.
