In 1796, James Cuncliffe of Lower Booths married Betty Lonsdale. Two years later, he married Betty Cuncliffe.
Then two years later again (Jan 1803), James Cunliffe of Lower Booths married Betty Lord of Higher Booths. There are no burial records for any of the three Betties.
In 1811, James Cunliffe and Sarah Lord, both of Higher Booths, married.
In 1823, James was from Oakenhead Wood when all six children were baptised (showing two mothers), but was Robert also his? Robert (or two Roberts) was baptised twice in 1812 with father James and Mothers Betty and Sarah.
In 1841 James and Sarah (60 & 58) were at Roadfield Nook, Rossendale, and neighbours of son Henry
In 1851, James (71) was a gentleman with wife Sarah (62) and 6 grandchildren (his son Henry's). This cannot be the same James that had the son Robert the Toll Collector (who was in Sharples with his father James).
