  • Notes 
    • In the 1871 census, living with Job and Alice is a lodger, James Clarkson, a brewer's assistent from Preston, and in 1881 she is living with him in Halliwell, Bolton as "wife". They marry bigamously in 1883, with Alice claiming to be a widow. According to the report below he died, and in 1887 she was married a third time to James Dickinson.

      A newspaper report from 1887 headed "Charge of bigamy against a woman" states: "At Leigh Police Court on Monday, Alice Clarkson of Atherton was charged, on remand under a warrant, with having committed bigamy at Atherton by contracting marriage with a man named James Dickinson, an operative spinner, her first husband, Job Hulse of Winsford, being alive.
      "From the evidence adduced it appeared that Clarkson was married in May 1857 to Hulse at Runcorn parish church. About two years ago she was married at Bolton to a man named Clarkson, who had since died.
      "James Dickinson said Clarkson had represented herself as a widow. She said she had been married twice before, but both husbands were dead.
      "The Bench committed Clarkson to the Liverpool Assizes for trial."

      Court records for Liverpool Assizes, dated Feb 17 1888, state: "Alice Clarkson - Committed for Bigamy - Died before trial, being out on bail." (Criminal Registers, Ancestry)
