General Notes
Originaly thought to have married Robert Walsh, now believed to have married William Fairclough, and named their second son Matthias after Mary's brother and father. Mary is from an Iron Mouder family, so its fitting she married a Blacksmith.
In 1841, William (a Blacksmith) and Mary (35 & 30) were at Mawdsley Street, E Bolton with sons Thomas (12) and Matthias (10).
In 1844, their son Thomas died, and sometime after that their remaining son Matthias Fairclough left home to join the army (as a private foot-soldier).
In 1851, they had Sarah Longfield (unmarried, 22) with them from Newcastle. Also two "relatives" Mary Ann Rothwell (38) and Bessy Garside (17), both from Bolton.
