The James Kippax 1735 I think came about by guess work from his date of marriage. I have not been able to find a birth anywhere around that time.
I have found a baptism for a James Kippax, born Ltl. Marsden, baptism place St Bartholomews Colne, baptism date 3rd May 1719, father Edward.
If this is the right James it would make him 41yrs when he married Susan Nutter 28th June 1760, and less than 9months before the christening of son James 22nd Feb 1761. This could give a reason for the marriage, it would also explain why he died when he did, and not that he died young. I have looked for an earlier marriage for him and not come across anything.
The fathers name Edward does not carry on down the line, which is very unusual as names were taken from fathers, grandfathers, mothers etc. The reason for this I think is, Edward baptised 6th July 1696 at St Bartholomews Colne, was the bastard son of Grace Sympson and Edward Kippax, and with that the name ceased to be used in the family. I think the bastard son Edward is the father of James 1719.
This is speculation and not proven, but I cannot find another Edward who could be his father, nor can I find another James who could be Susan Nutters husband.
I hope I haven't baffled you too much with this. A couple of us came to these conclusions but sadly no one has been able to prove it, except possibly by process of elimination.
I have a spreadsheet of Kippaxs collected on my travels some of which don't directly fit in with mine, as yet, all from the Briercliffe, Marsden, Colne area, if you PM me your e-mail address I will TRY to send it to you.
The Kippax tree on the site is mine, if you hadn't realised it. Most of those are not on the spreadsheet.
