Narrative and Notes

William ELLISON was a weaver, born in Billington, NE of Blackburn in 1739.

He married Ellen SOWERBUTTS who was born in Salesbury (5 miles to the west) in 1767. The couple raised a family in Balderstone (another 5 miles west) near Mellor.

There are a couple of possible burial records for William, however the reference of Balderstone indicates that, despite the spelling, the later is correct:

William ELLISON buried in Blackburn on 27 Jan 1811, a husband who died of old age, aged 70 i.e. born 1741
William ELLINSON of Balderstone, buried in Blackburn on 21 Mar 1799, aged 57 i.e. born 1742
