Commentary
Alice’s parentage:
The baptism entries of several of Alice’s children record her parents as John and Margaret Baneford.
Alice’s 1 March 1829 Wigan burial record gives an age at death of 74. This enables the identification of Margaret’s baptism as that taking place 17 December 1757 in Wigan, to John and Margaret Baneford. The date is close enough for a burial in this time period, as the age at death given for an old person was often a couple of years too high.
John and Margaret’s eldest child was baptized in Wigan 30 December 1746. A John Baneford married Margaret Hodskinson 1 January 1745/6 in Wigan.
