Notes

Note

Dorothy Dryden: She re-married John Reay, a coal trimmer, and inherited two children, Jane (1872) and John W (1874)
Appears as Dorothy Reay in 1881, 1891 and 1901 census. Key fact is that in the 1901 census they are living at the same address as appears on John Dryden's marriage certificate.
