I think the surname problem has been in the transcriptions, as I've seen the same couple on the IGI covering Blackrod as being Roger and Hannah FARTCLOUGH and Roger and Hannah FAIRCLOUGH.
My theory if that Paul Fairclough, born Haigh, was the oldest son of Roger Fairclough and Hannah Pennington (married Wigan, Lancs 1769). Possible christenings of their children that I have spotted on the IGI are -
Paul 1771 Blackrod
Peggy 1773 Blackrod (died young?)
Peggy 1778 Blackrod
Jane 1780 Wigan
James 1782 Wigan
John 1784 Wigan
Hannah 1786 Wigan
Betty 1789 Wigan
Isaac 1791 Blackrod
Alice 1796 Wigan
Roger Fairclough was possibly the son of Roger Fairclough and Rachell Lowe, married in Wigan in 1739.
I don't intend doing much more on Faircloughs this far back, but may have a quick look on this forum to see whether any of the above have been posted.
