General Notes
- James's first wife was possibly Hannah Blakeley, married in 1815. The marriage and following baptisms show James is a spinner. However, James's marriage to Hannah is suspect. Two Sarah's and no William baptism, so perhaps another marriage.
  
  In 1851, James (58) and Alice (40) are listed at 33 Duncan Street with seven children. Rachel and Sarah were baptised on the same day, daughters of James and “Elizabeth”. This appears to be an error, as mother’s maiden name “Hardman” is registered for all the children (after 1837).
  
  In 1861, Alice Greenhalgh (50) was a widow and now a “Beer Seller”. She lived with two of her children Joseph (21, a book-keeper) and Sarah (15) at 2+4 Nobel Street, West Bolton.
