Hi Elizabeth
I have a James Baxendale born 1830 in Chorley in my family tree.
His younger brother Richard was my gr, gr grandfather.
Other siblings:- Ann 1822, William 1823, Giles 1825, John 1829, Jane 1833.
Parents Richard Baxendale 1799 and Jane Brindle.
You give no dates, could this be the same James?
Regards
Eileen Bamford(Baxendale)
