James Sutton

Awarded the compensation for the enslaved people on Oldbury estate in Manchester with Robert Sutton and John James Ronaldson, stated to be as owners-in-fee but more probably as trustees connected with James and Robert Sutton's brother-in-law James Swaby (q.v.).

Probably but not certainly the James Sutton whose partnership as stockbrokers with Robert Sutton, Robert Sutton junr and Thomas Gribble was dissolved 31/12/1842 through the retirement of Robert Sutton. Again probably, son of Robert Sutton of Finsbury Place and Rossway, Northchurch Hertfordshire who died 1848.
