Cornelius Buckley was recorded as living here in 1838 when he married Esther Scowcroft.
John Mather recorded Crook St as his address in 1838 when his son Benjamin was born and again in 1842 when his wife Ellen (John and Mary's daughter) died.
By 1851, except for Mary, their children had left home and they had 9 lodgers and visitors to fill what must have been a big house.
Cornelius and Margaret were married in a religious ceremony on February 18th, 1827 at St. Peter's (Bolton) by Curate Thomas Fogg and witnessed by Richard Mangnall & Ralph Ward.8 They had two sons named James and William. There are no more children.

It's strange that Lancashire BMD has a birth for Sarah A, but no Martha. This must be an error, as there was no census or death for Sarah A, and yet we have a Martha instead!
