On checking the details, if the James Cheetham who married Ellen Dearden in 1809 is the same James Cheetham who died in 1840 aged 51, this would mean he was only 11 at the time of his marriage, which surely  can't be possible?

Hi Claire

Ignore my last message, if the 2 James are one and the same, it would have made him around 20 at the time of his marriage not 11 - I suffer from senior moments occasionally
