I checked the Marriage of James Pearson Bach otp and Ann Shaw Sp otp 24.5.1818 Old Swinford, Witnesses were Joseph Pearson and Mary Shaw. There are 3 or 4 James Pearson's born about 1780 on BCC, just wondered if they have been mixed up along the way, here is the thread:-

May be incorrect I suppose, who know's what is fact and what is fiction
