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.

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.

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.
