• 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.
