Death Notes
John probably died a few years befoer his wife remarried in 1839. Also, since his daughter Ann (from Sharples) was buried at St Mary's, Leigh in 1838 you would expect John to be buried there too. Although a little older than expected, the burial in 1835 is a very good match, and John was resifing in Little Bolton (close to Sharples, North of Bolton)
