Here is my ancestry tree for him: if it is private, email me and I will make sure it is open to wikitree people to gather information.
One bit of information: his name may have been McCARTHY (or was a spelling error) as his James McCartney who married Elizabeth Williams had a father James McCartney an upholsterer. I found that a James McCARTHY Irish born upholsterer, married Rosanna Hughes on 14 Jul 1844 in Liverpool. His son was baptised as Name Jacobus McCartney Age 0 Birth Date 8 Feb 1845 Baptism Date 16 Feb 1845 Baptism Place St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England Father Jacobus Mccartney Mother Rosa Hughs
And the name became consistently McCARTNEY
We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!
