Death Notes
There are two buriels, both with a good match. Lucy died at Foulridge, and assuming there are not two Lucy Roberts married to James, then the record below must be correct. Also the age at death of 63 matches perfectly.
Burial: 25 Oct 1820 St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire, England

Age: 63
Abode: Foulridge
Buried by: J Henderson

This is abother obvious match as the family moved to Oxnards in 1794, and Henry and Will were born at Oxnards. However he is 3 years too old to be the huband of Luce. Therefore this must be another.
Burial: 17 Dec 1814 St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire, England

General Notes
James Roberts was from the the Parish of Thornton, Yorkshire.
The abode for the childrens baptisms was Noyna or Noonhow, which is probably a house at Foulridge. Today there is Noyna Road, Avenue and view, all between Colne and Foulridge, a 15 min walk from the Church.

Relationship Notes
Davids son Michael was a Hatter at Foulridge, so David and James (also a Hatter) were probably close friends.
James was an acquaintance of David Pickles.
