  • Notes 
    • With parents and siblings in 1841 census, but fathe named as George (a carpenter) in baptism record - probably an error in father's name as other details match his near siblings exactly, and no other baptisms foumd to a George/Catherine couple.
      Apparently married a Mary Cook of Bolton, and is in several censuses with Cook in-laws and children whose mother's maiden name is given as Cook in GRO records, but no correlating marriage record found.
      A matching Mary Cook was baptised in Bolton in 1824, parents Betty and Lawrence, a spinner. And there is a marriage in Wigan in 1848 of a George Peet, father John, wheelwright, to a Mary Leigh, spinster, father Lawrence Leigh, cotton spinner - a very odd coincidence.
