appears in the 1861 census as a farm servant at Pickle Hall, Hutton Roof,

She returned to Kilner Foot after his death and may have also moved with William and his family to Garsdale. Details for John are unclear. He married Emma in 1870 moved to Farrington, near Preston, and died in 1905. Emma died at Lostock Hall and is also buried at Farrington.
