• Notes

  Of the Old Hall, Pendleton, Lancashire. Worked in the cotton industry and amassed a fortune. William was buried in the same chapel as his wife and two daughters, some sources say three, so it would be Aphia but can't find her William buried 2nd Feb 1810 Also buried as of the Old Hal Pendleton was Alice Smith Jan in 1810 she died only a few days apart from William also with consumption This does beg the question did William also die of the disease but the register is silent as to what killed him
