General Notes
- In 1775, Sarah, daughter of Abraham and Lydia (not Anne) was born. It must be the same Abraham as abode is Lower Lane, Haslingden, and Abraham's son Abraham is too young to be a father.
  
  There is no record of a marriage or death of Lydia, so it is possible Lydia and wife Anne are the same person. Otherwise Sarah may be an illegitimate child of Abraham and a younder woman, Lydia.
