Yeah - good. I saw that one and passed it over because of the wife's name. Like Gloria says, never dismiss anything. That makes 3 wives - regular little Henry VIII wasn't he? |

Impressive Mel, I have put both his name and his wifes name into Ancestry 1891 and neither have come up. How did find him??? Are you now to be known as "Advanced Genealogist"? |

Don't know how Mel did it, I found it by searching for Bannister Laver, but like I say I dismissed it. Silly me. |

I even tried Bannister with no surname, just date and place of birth and it didn't find him. Probably all this rain has flooded my brain---no comment

I searched for male born 1824 +/-5 in Briercliffe. I put no names in search. It only gave about 50 results. It might have been different if i had given me 100's of results. |

PS If it is the right family, William is missing. There's a death on Lancashire BMD, 1870, William Leaver aged 13 that might cover it... |

Kris, I do think it's him. I searched without surname for every combination of James (wife Mary/ Mary Ann), Maria (father James), Mary Ann, (husband James) etc. In the end I tried Mel's trick of looking for a nameless female, born Preston 1832 +/- 2, resident Blackburn, and this was the closest match. The family names & ages all fit, (apart from missing William) as does the father's occupation. I can't find any other candidate for the James born Briercliffe. |

Don't know whether you've seen this, but there's a marriage on Lancashire bmd 1857: Groom: LEVER James Bride: TOWNLEY Mary Ann Where: Blackburn, St Mary the Virgin (Blackburn Cathedral) Blackburn Register number: CE12/21/184. It's the only James & Mary Ann & the year fits their ages & the dob's of the children. Also the place. |
