• Also Known As: (Annie)

Notes:

There was some doubt about the identity of James's first wife as no marriage record was found for a Hannah Stainer. The 1860 one in Liverpool was initially confusing and thought to be either another couple (now ruled out as no matching Alice appears in the censuses) or an error - but the transcription has been confirmed as accurate in the original parish record at the LDS Family History Centre, Kew. It reads:- James Cheetham, full age, Boatman, Bachelor, abode Crosshall St, father James Cheetham, Boatman; Alice Taylor, minor, Spinster, abode Sir Thos Bgs, father John Taylor, Coachman; Witnesses Thomas Spencer & Sarah Cheetham.
The participants did not sign the register but used a mark X, and the bride's name is now believed to be the result of a mishearing. James's wife appears as Annie in the 1861 census, and the names "Alice Taylor" and "Annie Stainer" sound remarkably alike.
Several of the children's birth records on Lancs BMD give mother's maiden name as Stanner, Stanier or Stainer, and there is a Hannah Stainer in 1841 and 1851, daughter of John and Mary. They are in Sheffield in 1841, all born in Yorkshire, Hannah age 1, John a horse keeper. In 1851 they are in Liverpool with John a Coachman and Hannah, b Sheffield, age 12. In 1861 James's wife is listed as Annie, age 20 b Liverpool (parents' abode), and in 1871 as Hannah, age 29 b York.

Hannah married James Cheetham on 10 Dec 1860 in St Peter, Liverpool. James (son of James Cheetham and Elizabeth Alty) was born in 1838 in Halsall; died on 7 Jul 1901 in Barton, nr Halsall; was buried on 10 Jul 1901 in St Cuthbert, Halsall. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
