Thanks Rosie99 for all your info. I have just given myself a shock. You ask what happened to James' mother after John Wootton died. Well, she married William Griffiths 29th December 1856 at St Chad's Parish Shrewsbury, declaring herself to be a spinster Harriet Paradine. I just found her marriage to John Wootton in 1845 at St John's Parish in Great Boughton, I must not have looked for it. I believe James Wootton married a Jane Smith in a civil marriage in Bangor. I've lost them after that. Unless of course the plot thickens and it was another James Wootton!
