General Notes
- James was the son of another James from Middle Hulton, but who was this James? There are no other childrens baptisms at Deane, of James Mather. There are baptisms at Leigh of James (& Sarah) in 1767,69,72,73,74,75 but these must be another as they overlap our James baptised in 1769. Likewise James and Mary of Radcliffe with baptisms 1766 and 1769 are another.
