Sir James Duckworth
I have not been able to find out much more about Duckworth than is already in your article.
The only additional information I tracked down about his political career is that he was adopted as Liberal candidate at Blackpool in 1903.(The Times, 19 October 1903) The sitting Tory MP, H W Worsley-Taylor KC announced he would be resigning his seat and the Unionists adopted Wilfrid Ashley. Duckworth and Ashley started campaigning in Blackpool in anticipation of a by-election (The Times, 27 January 1904 p4). In the event Worsley-Taylor did not step down until the 1906 general election when Ashley succeeded him as the local MP.
Duckworth was also a Justice of the Peace and an Alderman of Rochdale. (Walford's County Families of the United Kingdom. 1920 p357)
An odd discrepancy seems to exist about his marriage. I note in your article that by 1862 he is recorded as having a wife and son. However according to Who was Who (OUP 2007) he did not marry until 1882 when he married , Ellen Matilda the daughter of Thomas Jully of Bristol. There is also a Who was Who entry for Duckworth's son, also James Duckworth which states he was born in 1869. That does not accord with the 1862 date or the marriage date as being 1882. I could not find a reference to the marriage elsewhere so it's a mystery.
Please use this info to expand your article if you want.
