Have we looked at this family before?
The names Pennington and Dearden seem very familiar.

EDIT:

Yes, here it is - from a different angle:

James Pennington
in the Web: UK, Coal Mining Accidents and Deaths Index, 1700-1950
Name: James Pennington
Birth Year: abt 1844
Event Type: Death
Event Year: 1882
Death Age: 38
Death Date: 6 Jan 1882
Death Place: Haydock, Lancashire, England
Occupation: Bricksetter
Colliery: New Boston
Owner: Richard Evans and Co
Notes: Inspection made. When descending the shaft he fell from the cage. He was subject to fits and it is supposed he had one on this occasion.



Well, not unless he kept changing his occupation.
In 1861 and 1871 he's a glass cutter.
The boarder James in 1881 is a carter.


EDIT:

There were four James Pinington/Pinningtons born in Prescot in 1843-5.
Two of them died 1843-4.
But that still leaves two to confuse!

In that case (ie - Ann a widow in 1911) , two possible deaths for James, though none quite match a YOB of 1844.

EDIT: sorry, slip of the finger - I meant 1845 )


The 1905 death is nearest:
