Ancestry provides some information:
James Deason married Jane Clarke (sic) at Urswick Parish Church on 3rd June 1806, when he was 19 years old. There is a marriage bond dated 2 June 1806. This suggests that James Deason was from Newton-in-Furness, and Jane Clark was from Adgarley, both aged 19 years. James was buried on 12 January 1832, his age being recorded as 46 years in the Lancashire online Parish Clerk.
James Deason had a Land Tax Redemption entry to the value of 2d (less than 1p) in Great Urswick in May/June 1799, though whether this is the same James has to be questioned.
The grave of Francis Clark of Adgarley (d 1819), and Margaret Clark, his wife (d 1834), are close by. These are probably Jane’s parents.
