Children

  John was born about 1836 in Turton and his christening took place on December 30th, 1838 in Bolton.²¹
  - Birth Notes
    
    John aged 16 on 1851 census
    John aged 24 on 1861 census
    
    This is the only close match for a christening of John to a father named James, but I doubt this is close enough to his birth year of 1834-5 for this to be him, and he should have been christened at Turton.
