  - Birth Notes
    - James Lomax
      Birth:
      Christening: 17 JUL 1735 Bolton Le Moors, Lancashire, England
      Parents:
      Father: John Lomax
      Mother: Ellen Cross
      
      There are several James Lomax'es, and this could be the wrong one, as no evidence of non-conformist religon. Marriage shows James from Bolton and Mary from Dean.
      
      This is probably too late aa James marries in 1775:
      Name: James Lomax
      Event Type: Baptism
      Baptism Date: 16 May 1737
      Parish: Bolton le Moors, St Peter
      Parish as it Appears: Bolton St Peter Parish Church
      Father's Name: Joseph Lomax of LB
      Mother's name: Ellen Lomax
      Reference Number: L243/1/1/3
      Item Number: 2
      Archive Roll: 853
  He died at the age of 96 in 1831 in Bolton.³
  - Death Notes
    - James Lomax of Harwood ... 18 Feb 1790
      (See Mary Lomax widow of Harwood who died Dec 1793)
      
      There are buriels at Tyldsley and Ainsworth. Ainsworth is NE of Bolton and closer, so more likely. However Joseph Mather, a possible brother of Alice was from Tyldsley.
      
      Many different probate records (for Bolton) for James Lomax:
      1810 (Yeoman of Turton), 1817 (Breightmet), 1822 (Yeoman of Bolton),1824 (Weaver of G. Bolton), 1827, 1830 ... (and later).
      
      These are all probably too late, unless James was 96 when he died. James's grandaughter Happy was living at Rose Hill, Bolton in 1854 when her father James Mather died. This could be her grandfather's house: There's a probate for James Lomax in 1831: "Will of James Lomax late of Rose Hill near Bolton in the county of Lancashire Yeoman deceased was proved and admon granted to James Cross and William Lomax the executors. Under £800." Note James's mother was Ellen Cross.
  Mary Taylor
  Mary was born about 1731 in Deane.⁴
  - Birth Notes
    - Mary Bromiley of Dean (Widow) when she married James Lomax
  She died in 1796 in Bury. Her burial was on February 16th, 1796 in Bury.
  - Death Notes
    - May be the worng Mary Lomax, as buried at Bury, although age is about right
      
      Name: Mary Lomax
      Event Type: Burial
      Burial Date: 16 Feb 1796
      Parish: Bury, St Mary the Virgin
      Spouse's Name: James Lomax
      Reference Number: L215/1/2/1
      Item Number: 2
      Archive Roll: 670
      
      Also,
      Mary Lomax of Harwood, widow ... dec 12 1793
      
      Also, Mary Lomax of Harwood buried 7 April 1771 in which case James may have married Ann Abbot 21 April 1771 (very unlikely as only 2 weeks later) and had had Alice Lomax born Nov and baptised 5 Dec 1773 (also at Bank Street Unitarian).
