Once again many thanks to Andrew Scarisbrick (andy_scarisbrick@hotmail.com) who has kindly provided and transcribed the following will detail of James Ainscough d.1818. I think this is James Aiscough, son of Hugh Aiscough 1745 and Mary Smith Aiscough, grandson of Thomas (1715) and Alice Aiscough.
Thomas Aiscough (1715) is the brother of James Aiscough (1711) who is my GGGGGG grandad. This is the start of the Parbold line, Thomas being the great grandfather of the Parbold benefactors; the start of H&R Ainscough - (sons of Hugh A 1816-1894 & Susan Fairclough 1830-1923) see blog 27th November 2006.

From the detail in the Will it looks as though James (?-1818) died young and before his father Hugh (1746-1822).
Hugh's Burial (father of James) : 12 Mar 1822
Hugh Ainscough -
Age: 75
Abode: Mawdesley
Buried by: Roman Catholic
This gives a year of birth of 1746 or '47 for James' father Hugh. I presume this is the father of Richard Ainscough of Parbold, and James of Ulnes Walton. He could have been executor to James in 1819 if he died in 1822. James' will definitely lets us know that Hugh is still alive.
