From "somewhere" I got the information that James was born Nottingham and....

a.) Was the son of John Martin b Nov/Dec 1742 in Pontefract, WR of Yorkshire.
b.) His mother was Ann Wood b 1747 Elland, Yorkshire (md John 29.11.1768)
c.) Had a brother John b 1769 Knottingley, WR of Yorkshire.
d.) Had a sister Bethsheba bapt 30 Jul 1771 died Aug 1772 Knottingley.

James "parents" John died & was buried Jul 1808 Nottingham, but i believe Ann died and was buried in Pontefract.

I know for sure who his descendants are, but, the question remains - are his parents and siblings above correct because its time for me to have my tree printed.

If you know his descendants can you give the names of his children ( & years of birth if possible )

Just wondering if you heard "Nottingham" or Knottingley ...or even Cottingham which is in Yorkshire. ?

Not seeing a baptism for James in Nottingham
