Re James and Hannah marriage above.

James father was indeed Robert, a weaver.

You can see the parish register entry here:

Unfortunately though, this 'might' be his baptism which shows his mother to be Eliza, not Alice?? - Either way, it shows that the marriage could belong to either of the James's. ?

I can find a possible Alice b.ca 1842 as a Boarder and living in Heap. Uncertain about James


and no Alice born in ca 1813.


It looks as though Alice might have died, and the family dispersed.
