Yes, you are correct mgnv the James that I have followed was still single in 1881. I'll leave the details up for elimination purposes.

I think rootgather has followed the wrong James.

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1854
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
HASLAM James Tonge with Haulgh Bolton HOWARTH TWH/8/369

but the one we want is:

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1853
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
HASLAM James H Turton Bolton HASLAM TUR/7/90


We know we want James Horrocks Haslam, and from Maddie's post, this is the one we want, but it's mistranscribed:

Births Jun 1853 (>99%)
Haslam James Horatio Bolton 8c *14

I've checked the image, and it does say Horrocks & p=214.
[I've also submitted a correction to this & all the p=214 missing/mistranscribed entries]

I've appended the local ref to the other entries with p=214:

Births Jun 1853 (>99%)
Chadwick William Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/88
Crook Elizabeth Ann Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/94
Entwisle Lois Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/93
Entwisle William Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/85
Kay James Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/89
Wallace James Bolton 8c 214 TUR/7/91

Crook Charles Bolton 8c 204 TUR/7/86
Crook Jane Bolton 8c *94 TUR/7/92
Bolton Thomas Bolton [8c 214 on image but no entry made] TUR/7/87

It's clear the last entry is TUR/7/90

sent one an hour ago (opened) but did receive a thank you pm on 31st Oct so Pete has probably seen this info

the poster has started a new Haslam thread which I have asked him to please delete and continue to use this one - have also told him there is info on here which he does not appear to have seen - think it;s time for a message!! :-D
