No not just me Walter, the Barratt's directories, Edward Marshall Crook's service record and more than likely the annual electoral registers of the time too.
You rely on your scribbled and rushed census return of 1871 and your even older licensing report. I'll rely on the well respected Barratt's of Preston and the well respected Ordnance Survey map of the period in question, as well as the service record of Edward Marshall Crook which was only 13 years prior to the photograph.
