- Gravestone for him, his wife and several children, can be viewed on FindAGrave. (Since he is listed first but died after most of those commemorated on the stone, up to 34 years after, it is clear that the details for those others was not recorded on the stone at the time, and may have small errors that such a time lapse can lead to).

Father James TATHAM, b. Est 1770, d. Yes, date unknown Mother Elizabeth TURNER, d. Yes, date unknown Married 1793 St. Mary the Virgin’s Church, Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland, England
- Date of 1793 estimated from the date of baptism of first known child and this marriage fits (none to fit in Thornton in Lonsdale).
From FamilySearch.
I looked at this family in the hope it would lead me to the marriage of daughter Jane. (I had hoped it would enable me to establish whether the John that Jane married was, as I show, John George, born Teignmouth but I was happy that it was from other sources before I found the marriage of John and Jane).
Most of this family are known of through being mentioned in Jane's will.
I am not researching this family in their own right.
