From the 1851 census and birth of children James, Mary Anne and Sarah, James was a weaver when his son James was baptised in 1828, and later a vitriol maker who lived at Foxdenton. He was born at Chadderton, Lancaashire - "England and Wales Census, 1851," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SG57-Z7M : 2 November 2017), James Ashton, Chadderton, Lancashire, England; citing Chadderton, Lancashire, England, p. 28, from "1851 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO HO 107, The National Archives of the UK, Kew, Surrey.
However he does not seem to have had some of the other children, so there may be other James Ashtons who are the father of the other children.
