Note: The newspaper article about the killing of William Jackson by John
Pilling alludes to the fact that Mr Pilling was having an inappropriate
relationship with Dorothy Howard, the landlady of the Bull and Butcher
pub. I can add that John Pilling fathered a child with Dorothy Howard, a
widow. The child, Lawrence Howard, was baptized at St Wilfrid's Chapel
on 14 Aug 1821. It’s not known what type of relationship he had with his
biological father, but when Lawrence Howard was married in 1843 he
named John Pilling as his father in the marriage register.
William Jackson, a tallow chandler, of 115 Church Street, was buried in St Wilfrid’s Cemetery on 10 Aug 1827, aged 46 years.
Dorothy (Carr) Howard, of Garden Street, was buried in the same cemetery on 1 Apr 1828, aged 40 years.
