EDIT This can't be his family if he was born 1856. The birth posted above was 1866.

He may have been a bit loose with his age though as the marriage in 1893 has his age at 33 ie born 1860.

The James Woolridge i have has a son name Arthur Thomas Sefton B:1882/3 so that must be the same family. My mum had no idea where Sefton came from and guessed he had named him after an area of Liverpool. I came to a real dead end 5 years ago with this, he has so many family branches, married 3 times and first two wives 1st being my g grandmother dying soon after child birth - i need to print all if this off and make sense if it - many many thanks <3
