Abraham son of James and Isabella Slater of Newton 25 March 1787
Jane to James and Isabel Slater of Newton 25 December 1788
Mary to James and Isabella Slater of Newton 26 May 1793
Elizabeth to James and Isabel Slater of Newton 5 June 1795
Elizabeth to James and Isabella Slater of Newton 10 December 1796
The will of James shows conclusively he was my great great great grandmother Jane's father, as her 2 illegitimate sons, Thomas and Robert, that were born before James died are mentioned.
A gravestone in St. Mary’s Churchyard also shows that James’s parents
were called James and Jane (Bell). This is undoubtedly the correct
James as the date shown on the gravestone for his death matches up exactly
with the date on James’s Will i.e. 29 June 1827.
