• Notes

  John William Draper in death record (Ancestry). Wrongly identified as Tom, pictured on P29 of Robert Cheetham-Houghton's "Burscough Boatmen" book - also on P32 (standing, left) with his brother-in-law Tom Bowen. Birth year given as 1902 in the Waterways Archive at Ellesmere Port, but registered in Q2 1903 (GRO Online Index) and birth date confirmed in baptism record.
