• Notes

  There was a baptism on 20 Jun 1813 at Bolton-le-Moors that might have been for him. Parents Thomas and Margaret. (Note. A papermaker of Tonge called Thomas Crook died in Aug 1860 leaving £5,000 at probate in 1861 - may be him). The £2000 that John left was worth £165,800 in terms of historic standard of living or £1.4 million in terms of economic status. John and Hannah lived on the curiously named Scope'oth Lane in Bolton. Buried at St James Church, Breightmet.
