  • Notes 
    • Oddly, there is an almost identical baptism record on Lancs OPC for an apparent twin, John, the only difference being the parents' abode, Wallgate rather than Pottery. But parents John and Sarah already had a John, and there is no 1854 birth record on Lancs BMD for a John, mother's maiden name Barker, while there is for Sarah, though it's given as Barclay.
