I am trying to find out where James Slack was born in around 1824. I have searched for him in Norbury Staffordshire, and am now of the opinion it must be Knotbury Staffordshire. I believe his father was also called James, who was a labourer, although that covers a lot, ie, roads etc and farming. I also think James jnr had a brother called Abraham. James and Abraham were silkmen by trade, and could have been employed at a silk/dye works in Wildboarclough Macclesfield, which is on the border of Knotbury Staffs. Can anyone help me solve this mystery please. James (1824) eventually lived in Sutton/Langley Macclesfield, where he eventually died in 1898., although I cannot even find where he is buried. Help please.
