As Mike says - had they married in 1812 i would imagine they would have had quite a number of children upto 1820 +/= even if they had been married a couple of years before they started trying

BMD

First entry lists father as Peter - so not mine

Maybe another son??

Mark, you really need to see the parish records to be 100% sure to see if these look right. I would imagine John's occupation stayed the same or similar... so that maybe the area to concentrate on???

Mark,

have a look on Family search and also Lancs OPC.

Both free sites and lancs OPC is ideal for you looking in the Lancs area.

PS.. Your correct about the 1st entry..... defo not your man.

Just looking at Abrm. Boardman.......... looks like he could have been a proffesional witnesses.

Can you just confirm " born Heaton" ... do you mean birthplace or that was the surname they were born with ?

Could this be your James ?

You really need to find James on 1851 census to confirm his age and birthplace, otherwise we are using guesswork.

Well that puts that theory to bed .. thanks Mark.

According to Google, Heaton is Morecambe district
