Note

This family, from which a number of members, over some three generations, were employees of the glass works at St. Helens, should not be confused with the family of Henry Anderton, watch and clock tool maker. The two Henrys were born within 3 miles of each other in Lancashire, in approximately the same year. They both married a Mary. However in this family she was a Mary Ann. The two wives were born in approximately the same year.
