  • Notes 
    • Stainer on BC, transcribed as Staner in GRO record.
      Hannah Stainer or Alice Taylor? - There was some doubt about the identity of James's first wife as no marriage record was found for a Hannah Stainer. A marriage record transcription 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 MC confirmed it as accurate. 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 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 their children's birth records on Lancs BMD give mother's maiden name as Stanner, Stanier or Stainer, and there is a Hannah Stainer in the 1841/51 censuses, 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.
