No baptism has turned up. A James Wigan married a Johanna Ugnall 21 November 1569 in Standish, but it is not certain that they were the parents of the James of this page.
Spouse: Ann Hollis. Married 14 September 1600 in Wigan, Lancashire.
The marriage is recorded in the parish register. The bishop’s transcripts give the name “Elizabeth Hollis”, which is presumably wrong, since the Wigan register records the burial on 29 August 1611 of “Anne wife of James Wigan”.
