I've been looking for an apprenticeship for James and can't find one. His elder brother Thomas, born 1770, was apprenticed to John Ross, cooper, in 1784 (freed 1791), and his younger brother John, born 1776, was apprenticed to Thomas in 1791. But I've just realised that James was only 19 when he got married (and his bride only 15 - but their first child was born almost exactly 1 year after their wedding) so it seems unlikely that he was apprenticed as he would not have been allowed to get married while he was an apprentice. But his son Robert James was apprenticed to him in 1812.
