William Bradshaw, Lunt's Heath, Widnes, Cheshire, 1840

BIRTHS
On Tuesday last, as Dr. Kidd, of Farnworth, was passing over Lunt's Heath, in Widnes, he was called into a cottage to see Mrs Wm. Bradshaw, a midwifery patient. She had been at work in the factory of Thomas Kidd, Esqu., at three o'clock, and at six she was delivered of three fine male children, all alive and hearty. The mother is doing well, and the trio have been baptized William, Samuel and John.
