That's the correct one for my line. Their children have a lot of similar names as the Duffield ones which is what is making me think James moved up country. There is a Martha born 1805 so it looks like James passed his mother's name on.
His wife Ann dies in 1845 so haven't found where she is from either & her surname is another difficult one.

I am trying to trace this James born to Thomas Litchfield & Martha Potter at Duffield. Hoping someone can see if there is a burial for him at Duffield.
I'm descended from a James Litchfield who died in 1839 & lived at Hoyland which is between Ecclesfield & Barnsley in Yorkshire. Age at death was 65 so possibly within the right age range. There's no mention of this surname in the area & he married in 1800 at Rotherham. His children's names tie in with family names from Thomas & Martha.
If there's a death for the 1777 James at Duffield I can rule this one out.
Thanks Lynn

Hi Lee
Thanks for the info you're a star. I've searched for Mary for ages so am going to look at all you've found.
Thanks

Thanks Lee
Have just found Benjamin in 1841 as a servant. Yes I had John's baptism in Sprotborough & my line is William who they baptised in Leeds !!!  Cannot find anything for Mary who can't have been born 1811"as she married in 1823 in Marr. Also no trace of Mary Turton nee Holdroyd after 1841 census so perhaps she remarried. My William married a girl from Chesterfield area in 1849 & says his father is Charles Turton occupation miner. In 1851 William & wife Anne live Warren area of Chapeltow & his brother John born 1824 is living Holland but no mother with either of them.
Thanks for the input

Thanks.
Iv'e had a look for Jonathan Anley & found one living Almondbury area in 1841 but no clues in his neighbours. There are some Holdroyds baptised around Marsden area so may be a connection.
Once again thanks
