That's on Ancestry Warwickshire baptisms as well Babs plus a couple of others on the same time scale.

There are some public trees on Ancestry too that have him as 31 March 1752 at Ansley, parents John and Elizabeth nee Burbage. No sources for that though.

The marriage is on ancestry and he is a bachelor, of the parish, marriage by licence, witnesses Joseph Archer and Hannah Boyce.

James Archer is a witness at the wedding of Robert Turberville and Ann Archer 3 Nov 1788, also at Alcester. Ann is a spinster of the parish. There is also a witness Ann Archer. James's signature as a witness looks pretty similar to the one on the James Archer / Ann Whitford marriage. Not sure whether the witness Ann Archer is James's wife as Ann Whitford made a mark X on her marriage and the witness signed her name, but she could have learned to write in the meantime, I suppose.

James Archer is listed as a tenant in the Warwickshire Land Tax Records on ancestry, 1783 - 1795, proprietor Arthur Stiles.

Thanks Kate, I'll look into that later. Still battling this Hale family at the moment.

James Archer burial at Alcester St Nicholas 28 Sep 1795. It doesn't show his age on the register.

Yes I've seen that. That's what those trees on Ancestry have assumed is him.

There is a Widow Archer listed at Alcester on the Land Tax Redemptions in 1798 but with a different proprietor's name from the one next to James on the Land Tax Records, so she may or may not be James's widow.

Were or are there many Archer families on Burton on Trent? As mentioned in my post to Margaret the one we are looking for is Mary Agnes Archer born in Burton in the early part of 1878. We have no idea who her birth parents were. She also had a sister a year later, Rose or Rosella and she was born in Poplar, England. Both girls were in he St. Vincent's Orphans Home, London, England in 1881 and in 1882 they were sent from Liverpool to Quebec. We have been looking for the names of her birth parents since 2009.

I have no evidence that the Archer family I am researching was in Burton. Seems to be the Alcester area.
