Hi Little Nell,
James Pragnell b. 1817 Broughton as mentioned his bap on post two is who I am looking for, because after his bap I can't find anything about him. Wonder if he d. before adulthood?
My other James Pragnell b. 1817 was West Tytherley, believe of Moses Pragnell & Sarah Cooper.
I now think this is the James that m. Jane Kimber in circa 1836 poss w. tytherley, and they had issue, James 1837, Moses 1839, Jane 1842, Harriet 1843, Hery 1847, Alred 1848, Frederick 1850, Emma 1856, Charlotte 1859
I am just trying to 100% clarify that I now have my James' the right way round, think I fell into the trap of attaching to the wrong one due to birth dates, but with the West Tytherley James, his children, the names make more sence this way around, 1st child named after father, 2nd after grandfather, 3rd after mother.
With James of Broughton, I have searched census for the villages around the Broughton area and areas where siblings moved to, mainly includes Broughton, Houghton and Stockbridge....can't find him there.
My gut feeling is that I am now the right way around with the James', and my Broughton James d. before 1837? Think I may need a little trip to HRO soon.
