Family of James Roberts & Lucy Coulthurst

Personal Details
- James Roberts
  James was born in 1757 at Colne and his baptism took place on January 23rd, 1757 at St. Bartholomew's (Colne).²
  - Birth Notes
    - There are two James Roberts born in Colne, one son of James and the other son of Richard. We can tell which one married Luce, because both James, and his father are both recorded as Hatters.

  He died at the age of 63 in October 1820 at Colne. His burial was on October 25th, 1820 at St. Bartholomew's (Colne).¹
  - 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

      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
