Harry Entwistle was born on 14 November 1795 in Edgworth.¹ He was baptized on 22 November 1795 at St Peter's Church in Bolton, Lancashire.¹

Martha, then aged at age ~27, was a witness when in Edgworth, Lancashire, on 4 December 1811. Constable Kay and deputy constable Barrett came to the Entwistle house at Edgworth to investigate the passing of the five pound note at Great Bolton two days earlier. Neighbour Henry Barns saw them approaching the house and saw Martha Entwistle "come running by the end of the house, up into the lane, and up the road a little". The constables questioned Alice Entwistle about where her mother was and she told them that she had gone to look for her son Harry (Alice's brother) who had earlier been send on an errand. The constables arrested Ann and Alice Entwistle and took them away to Bolton. Alice was released four or five days later when other witnesses from Bolton said that she was not involved.²
