• Notes

  Baptised as Jonah, and in 1871, '81 and 1901 censuses as such, but married as Henry Appleton (oddly naming father as Aaron). Also Henry in baptism records of first two children, but Jonah for Elizabeth, Arthur, Bertha and Lucy, also in daughter Lily's marriage record. NB: There is a Henry Appleton, son of Aaron, b1860 Altrincham, but he is unmarried in the 1891 census.
