Biography

This profile is part of the St Helens, Lancashire One Place Study.

Margaret Addison was born in about 1817 in Parr, Lancashire. She was the daughter of Joseph Addison and Margaret Burrows. She may have been christened on 22 Jun 1817 at St Helens Chapel of Ease in the parish of Prescot, Lancashire, with her parents listed as Joseph Addison (smith of Ashton) and his wife Sarah - obviously the family's abode (Ashton in Makerfield) and the mother's name don't fit, but since there are no other baptisms for children of Joseph and Sarah Addison around that time, the mother's name could be recorded incorrectly. ^[1]
