Help finding James Shuttleworth birth
« on: Monday 28 August 17 11:48 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the birth of James Shuttleworth, as well as any information for his parents. I know James was born around 1817 and that he was the son of William Shuttleworth. One census has James listed as being born in Scotland, but I do not know for certain if this is accurate. Both James and his father were labourers.

James married Harriet/Harriott Green in Wallsend, Northumberland in 1841. Harriet was born in Yarmouth and is the daughter of Benjamin Green, exciseman. James died in 1843 aged 26, around the time of the birth of his only son, William.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Hi Rosie,

The witnesses were Joseph Mordue and James Jamson. I don't know if these were relatives or not. I haven't, but I will now, thank you! It does look like they could well be James' parents
