James was one of the children brought from Dromore, Co Down, by Joseph and Elizabeth Lavery. Joseph was a cotton handloom weaver and the family settled initially in Maybole, Ayrshire. By 1851 they were in Fourstones, Northumberland, but, Joseph had died by then. James was a very upright, caring young man, who shouldered the burden of caring for his mother and the family. He was a union man and the colliery shut down for a day to give him a grand funeral with a band leading the procession of 500 miners. |
