Simeon was the son of Thomas and Ellen Greenhalgh. he was a clay pipe maker (not on your list). He must have been pardoned, as Records on Ancestry.com would indicate that he was: he returned to his home town of Blackburn and married Mary Holt in 1848. I cannot access the records to prove his pardon as I do not have a global sub to ancestry, just the UK sub.Any info on his pardon gratefully received!
