Talk:James King (Royal Navy officer)

Birth place
To rebuff an editor using the user name and an ip, there are no sources for King being born at Skellands Farm. His family did originate from the area, and it maybe that King's father, Reverend Dr James King, may have been born there. He is referred to as 'James King of Skellands in the West Riding of the County of York' on the memorial tablet in St Mary Magdalene, Woodstock. His son, Captain James King was not born at Skellands. He was born in Clitheroe in 1750, during his father's occupancy of the livings of Clitheroe and Downham (1743-1774). This is attested to in parish records, the Oxford and Canadian Dictionaries of National Biography and the Royal Society. The following sources all refer to Captain King as born in, or a native of, Clitheroe. ,, ,. Benea (talk) 23:49, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Clitheroe seems to be indicated by multiple sources. This has to be the longest lasting WP:Edit war that I've ever witnessed.. —Josh3580talk/hist 04:07, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
