General Notes
- It appears that Millison is Abraham's daughter and Abram died between 1855 and 1857 when Betty re-married, but that is not the case. The only matching death for Abraham is in 1845, aged 35. Betty must have then found another partner and had two more children before marrying George Sanderson in 1857.
  
  Abraham was actually born in 1811, the son of William and Betty, so about 37 when died.

Occupation Details
- From 1833 Abraham's occupation was Collier in Blackburn.
