NOTES:
1: Betty Higginson signed the marriage register with her X.
2: John and Betty's first three children were born in Preston and almost certainly baptized at St Mary's Catholic Church but the baptisms records for that period seem to be missing.
3: The above information is based on transcripts of the registers from St Mary's Church in Goosnargh, and St Mary's and St Wilfrid's churches in Preston.
4: This section of the website is still under construction
