    Notes 
    • John and Ann seem to have become estranged in the late 1860's, after the death of their son John Millington, although in 1861, Ann was living with her father in Salford and John was lodging at Ashton under Lyne. They must have have been living together after that as Esther Ann was born in 1863. In 1871 Ann was living with her sister and brother in law at Dunham and John was living with another woman at Gorton. In 1881 Ann was still living at Dunham and John was living with a different woman in Hulme. There were three children living with them, Thomas, Jane and Elizabeth but, although they have the name Wright on the census, there are no children of these names born to John or John G in the indexes for Manchester or Salford. They may therefore be the children of his partner only, who have conveniently been given the name Wright.
