J. Works mentioned in Obituaries for which no corroboration/other references have yet been found

a) Churches/chapels

i	Batley (W. Yorks) – There is a Catholic church (St Mary of the Angels) in Batley, which was opened in 1870, but its architect was J Kelly of Leeds; Batley, however, is only 2 miles from Dewsbury where there is a church (A77) by EW Pugin, so it is possible that the Batley entry in the Obituaries actually duplicates the one in Dewsbury.
ii	Blackrock (Co Dublin, Ireland) – probably with GC Ashlin.
iii	Cuba (W. Indies).
iv	Guernsey (Channel Islands) – AWN Pugin was architect of St Joseph's Church in St Peter Port, Guernsey, and Pugin & Pugin added the dominating spire in 1899, but there is no record of EW Pugin ever being involved.
v	Oldham (Greater Manchester).
vi	Stratford – It has, on occasion, been assumed that this is Stratford in E. London, and, accordingly, the church of St Vincent de Paul there has been attributed to EW Pugin; its style, however, is not at all Puginesque, and the archives of the OFM who took over in 1873 explicitly state that the attribution to EW Pugin is erroneous, and probably arose from the two references to Stratford in the EW Pugin's Obituary in The Building News; one of these most certainly refers to his church in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire [A59], whilst the other is most likely a misprint for Stretford in Manchester [A35], to which the obituary makes no reference.
vii	Tasmania – this almost certainly refers to a preliminary sketch design by AWN Pugin for Robert William Willson, first Bishop of Hobart Town. Whilst the sketch was indeed returned to EW Pugin's office in 1853, no further work was done on it, and the cathedral that was subsequently built was designed by W Wardell – I am indebted to Brian Andrews for this information.

b) Presbyteries

i	Bradford (W. Yorks.).
ii	Hanley (Staffs.) – possibly connected with the chapel of Our Blessed Lady & St Patrick, 1860.

c) Convents

i	Glasweran (sic) – actually Glasnevin (Dublin, Ireland).
ii	Handsworth (W. Midlands) – The Mercy Convent: possibly the 3 storey addition to the south, mentioned on p. 72 of Ref. (vi).
iii	Nenagh (Co. Tipperary, Ireland): possibly connected with K10.

d) Schools

i	Birchley Billinge (nr. Wigan, Greater Manchester) – presumably St Mary's.
ii	Bradford (W. Yorks.) – possibly either St Patrick's or St Joseph's.
iii	Cleator (Cumbria) – probably Our Lady's (associated with A90).
iv	Greengate (Salford) – probably connected with A92.
v	Egremont (Cumbria) – possibly St Mary's.
vi	Frisington (Cumbria) – probably St Joseph's.
vii	Newton (possibly St Mary's in Newton‚le-Willows, Merseyside).
viii	Nottingham (Notts.) – Training Schools, & possibly also St Barnabas' or Our Lady's.
ix	Salisbury (Wilts.) – probably St Osmund's.
x	Stafford (Staffs.) – probably St Patrick's (not A33), 1868.
xi	Tranmere (Merseyside) – could be E34.
xii	xii) Wooton.
