• Notes

  Edward almost certainly marries Alice FAULKNER 14/11/1868 at St Mary's Church, Manchester. All the facts from the marriage certificate check out, except that it doesnt say his father is dead. But the age, occupation, father's name and witness William Bradshaw fit, so this will be taken as correct.
