I would like to change the year-of-birth of that James Stankley from 1803 to 1812 and change his mother from Ann Jackson to Margaret Dakers. Here's why. I have reasons to believe that:
– James Stankley (his father) was born in 1768. – He married Ann Jackson in 1792. – Their 3rd son, James, was born in 1803 and died 2 years later in 1805. – They had another son, also James, who was born in 1806 and died 3 weeks later. – His mother, Ann née Jackson died also in 1806. – James Stankley (the father) took a second wife, Margaret Dakers of Houghton le Spring, in 1807. – They had a son, James, in 1812, who went on to be an engineman and to marry and have kids. – James (the father) died in 1841 and Margaret died in 1847. – James (the surviving son) died by drowning off Whitley (Bay) in 1847.
So four James Stankleys!
James (the son) had a daughter Elizabeth, whose surname morphed from Stankley to Stanley (dropping the "k"), who is my great-grandmother. So James (the son) is my g-g-grandfather and James (the father) is my g-g-g-grandfather – assuming I've got it right.
You may disagree with the above. I will not make any changes if you don't want me to.
