Hello Glen
I cannot find any direct connection with my family but you might find this interesting
I found the Christenings of a James Painter on the 20 Dec.1821 and his sister Sarah Painter on the 29 Feb 1824 both in Tipton which borders Dudley Their parents are named as James and Lucy Painter
You probably know names often repeat in families so there is a good chance there is a connection with yours
If this James Christened in 1821 is your James of abt 1824 it would explain why he named dau.s Lucy and Sarah
I'm told by a friend that a Puddler was the man who controlled the plug on the furnace to let hot metal flow
