I see his age is given as 83 on the death registration, which would fit with a date of birth in 1824, but surely he would have been born a few years earlier than that if he got married in 1838?

Typo Kate, it's 1848. I will edit it.

No I don't have a photo of James. There was one apparently but it seems to have been lost.

I will PM you with my email address as I think we could have a lot of info to exchange.

David D and I have discovered we are 3rd cousins. :):)
