    • No record found after 1871 census.
      It seems likely that a report in the Liverpool Daily Post on March 21 1867, headed 'Theft from a butcher's shop' referred to this man. It read: 'Samuel Worthington, canal boatman of Burscough, was charged with stealing 2lb of beef ans 2lb of fat, of the value of 2s 6d, from the shop of William Battersby, a butcher of Litherland. The prosecutor had occasion to leave his shop about nine o'clock the previous night and go to the rear of the premises. While he was absent, a person standing on the opposite side of the street saw the prisoner go into the shop, take the beef and fat, and then make off. This person then gave information to the prosecutor, who gave chase, and on coming up with the prisoner found the meat in his possession. The bench sent him to jail for one month.'
