Didn't realise I had never updated this.
Mother's name on Esther's baptism is Eliza or maybe Elizabeth but there doesn't seem to be a James and Elizabeth Mason couple, but there is a James and Rebecca couple with a daughter Rebecca jr who ends up living in Bermondsey and buried in Horsleydown (where my Esther's family moved to), so I am going to assume that this is Esther's family unless I find something to disprove it.
So I reckon my James is the James Mason who married Rebecca Riseborough 15 Oct 1728 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth. They had four daughters, Esther being the youngest, and then Rebecca married Thomas Heach on the 17th Jul 1737, so James must have died between 1733 and 1737, perhaps at sea.
A possible baptism for James - 1706, Lowestoft, son of William and Alice. But my James didn't name a daughter Alice, so maybe not.
