I have a James Stanworth 1806, married to an Elizabeth unknown. Children John, James (1836), Elizabeth, Sarah & Martha. Is this the same family?

Yes it's the same people, they had 11 children. If you go on the home page, look under family trees, under my descendants of William Stanworth you will find more details.
Are we related ----

I'd be dangerous with a brain.

It's a very distant relationship, but there is one. Are you ready?
James (Snr)'s granddaughter Sarah Ann married James Sutcliffe. He was Ben's 2x great-uncle (His brother William was Ben's 2x g'grandfather)
Just goes to prove that when it comes to Briercliffe, everyone's related to everyone else one way or another

_________________
Maureen
If you can't fight, wear a big 'at

So I think James Snr was the paternal grandfather of the wife of my husband's 2x great-uncle.
