James WALKER & Rac(a)hel HARRISON marriage in May 1808 at Otley.
Rach(a)el is the eldest daughter of John HARRISON of Midgley House. She was buried June 29th 1846 at St John the Evangelist, Leeds.

Census

I have been unable to locate a death (post 1861) for James or a birth abt 1780-1786

 Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you

You mention Midgley House that could mean they were posh and they had a bob or two (Money) - if so James could have left a Will/probate  and he maybe in the post 1858 Wills index that is on Anc*stry.com. This index gives a brief details and may give you a start of a year of death in locating James's death/burial records.

 

Maybe someone could look it up in Anc*stry.com on here.

Thank you so much for the prompt replies 

Calverley Lad. I have previously looked at  http://wharfegen.org.uk/  but I was unable to confirm the dates.

dobfarm. To date I have not located probate/will for James.

I currently have subs to Ancestry.co.uk and FindMyPast.co.uk so I'm constantly searching !!! but I'm still a relative newbie and willing to learn.

The GRO gave age of death after 1866 but not before in years 1861 to 1865 in their index, so James could have died between 1861 and 1865

There are only 3 James Harrison in the Leeds/Otley area in that time slot with no age given and its means buying GRO death certificates blind

http://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/Pages/Births-deaths-and-marriages.aspx

If you contact Leeds register office direct they will negotiate with you about what you know of James that will help them decide if the death is the correct one for you ~ ie: age-address or person present at death.

 If you buy from GRO webites they will just send the death cerificate add - lib  and regardless.

Hi there.
This post is now several years old, but maybe you still need help.

James Walker was born in 1779. I believe I found this date in a book called The Story of the Dining Fork, which is a family history of the Harrisons settling in the USA (referring the the Dining Fork river in Ohio).
He and Rachel Harrison were married May 18, 1808.
I don't have a death date for James either.
