From Emile Franco:
"The parish register (St. Thomas, Ashton in Makerfield) gives his date of birth as December 5, 1845, rather than the December 6 date you have. He was baptized on January 11, 1846, and was described in the parish register as the first son and illegitimate child of Jane Dearden, Town of Haydock. Jane was a servant. (I have a transcript of the parish register.) I could find no Jane Dearden of child-bearing age on the 1851 census, so she may have been dead by then. There was a five year old Thomas Deirden (sic), a scholar described as a lodger in the home of Robert Talbot a 39 year old miner born Ashton and his wife Ann, and their six children. (folio 40)" Also from Emile Franco: PETITIONS Kirkdale: Michaelmas 1853 - ref. QSP/3448 FILE - Haydock and Abram.

On March 4, 1895, she delivered a girl baby for Mrs. Charlotte Beard (Hazel Ann), took care of mother and child, then walked home to care for her son Stephen, who was ill. Two days later Stephen passed away. In the afternoon of the same day, after laying out her dead son, Aunt Betty came to the home of the Beard's to take care of Mother Beard.
