James's sons James and John were living together in 1851, unmarried, in Little Laver. The census states James was born in Willingale Spain while John was born in Little Laver, thus allowing the records concerning the family of James and Mary recorded in those two locations to be connected.

Research Notes

There seems to be an inconsistency about the daughter(s) Mary. There seems to have been a second daughter Mary born c1806. But the elder one appears to have died later in 1816.
