    Notes 
    • David Firth and Martha Shaw, were probably not married at All Hallows Cathedral nor even at Almondbury. Considering that they were known to both be living at a place called “Sellars Clough” near Marsden in 1820, they were probably married at the chapelry in Marsden. [10, 11]

  • Notes 
    • According to [Fairbanks-1978], Mary Firth lived in Bridge End, Derbyshire, England at the time of her marriage to Allen Chadwick, but contemporary geographic records do not list a Bridge End (or even the more common “Bridgend”) in Derbyshire. [2]
    • Mary (Firth) Chadwick and her 2 daughters are enumerated in her father’s household in 1861 UK census, and she is listed as widowed. [6]
    • “Sellars Clough” is probably a reference to the modern “Cellars Clough”, an area along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal just to the northeast of Marsden along the A62 near Sparth Reservoir. This is the location of the Cellars Clough Mill, a woolen mill that opened in the late 19th century and was owned by brothers Samuel and Copper Firth. [1, 4]
    • A second set of census entries may exist for Mary (Firth-Chadwick) Hardy and her husband Joseph Hardy. On 11 Aug 1870, a Joseph and Mary Hardy, both born in England and having correct approximate ages, were enumerated in Ward 5, Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts. It appears that they may have been visiting Joseph Hardy’s son (by a previous marriage) and daughter-in-law. Mary and Joseph had already been enumerated in June in Pembroke, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, the location of the China Mill where Joseph worked with Mary’s son Samuel Lowe. [15, 16]
