Hi June
(Hope it's okay my jumping in here!)
Found wife Alice and kids on 1871 census:

Alice aged 35 born Flixton, Manchester - Alice is shown as a Widow with occupation Laundress

If you have James & Sarah's marriage certificate do you have their parent's names?

Hi June
Looking at your previous posts re Pycroft, (wonder if Mods can include link in this thread?) you have his Father's occupation as Lacemaker and his as an Auctioneer. Is this confirmed information? And his Father's name was John.
