James Longworth was listed in Warrell’s Directory of 1871 as a Watchmaker at 93 Derby Street in Bolton.
There are few records relating to James, however, James Longworth of Tyldesly had married in Bolton in 1867, to Hannah Worsley of Halliwell, it is possible that this was the same person, and they later removed back to Tyldesly where he continued trading.
In 1881 James Longworth and Hanna were living at 177 Elliott Street, off the Square Tyldesley.
There are no known examples of his work.
