Ok,

I'm confused on something. I thought we had established that Mary Ann died before JB?:

"Mary Ann died 1889 in Stoke, where Geoghegan was manager of the Gaiety Theatre. He moved back to Bolton and died there the same year. " (from your first post)

Also, I don't think I've come across Dot, she must be one of the children I don't have. How old was she?
