  • Notes 
    • In 1871 census as Rachel Carrington, wife of James Carrington, despite husband James Clegg being alive, living with his father in Abram. It seems that she had three children with James Carrington before marrying him bigamously in 1882.
      See article "Bigamy on the Barges" Issue 55 of The Ormskirk and District Family Historian, March 2011, pages 11-13.
