Research Notes
The Edward Barton enumerated here is a four point match to the father of Alice Barton. He has the same name; he is the right age; he was born in Broughton (per the 1851 census); and his father’s name is Henry which matches his marriage certificate. Further indirect evidence is that in later years one Richard Barton was also living in Wigan and employed as an Iron Moulder.
