James, John (1816-22)

James, John, 27 Atherton St, Liverpool, cm (1816–d. 22). App. to Isaac Marsh in 1807 and John Ward Turner in 1810. Petitioned freedom in 1816 but this was at first rejected, as the representatives of I. Marsh refused to take out letters of Administration, and no assignment of his indenture could be obtained. This difficulty does not appear to have deterred him, however, and he set up in business in this year. He was eventually shown free 24 June 1818. [D; freemen's committee bk and reg.]
