Anne Cole's research makes them related. I wasn't sure if he is related but almost certain. (see 1851 Hanley Census - he lived in the same street as two other Duncalf families; William and Sarah Duncalf and James and Ann Duncalf. Both William and James are the right age to be sons of James and all three men are boiler makers. Coincidence ?? The
younger James and William don't share the same birth place though.)

  Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Mechanic/Blacksmith.

• Occupation: Boiler Maker.

James married Elizabeth Stelfox on 9 Jul 1804 in Manchester Cathedral, Lancashire.¹⁵⁸ (Elizabeth Stelfox was born in 1783 in Northwich, Cheshire,¹⁶¹ died on 9 Nov 1853 in Hanley, S-O-T, Staffs ¹⁵⁶ and was buried on 13 Nov 1853 in Shelton, S-O-T, Staffs ¹⁶².)
