I like that one Jim or Thelma.

In 1841 his father is George a shoe maker.

I take it you are looking for the parents names? Does he have younger siblings that you can find a birth cert for?

I dont spose his father married twice and James was adopted via a second wife?

Hi Rose,
Yes that is the problem, the 1861 and 1871 are the only times I have the whole family together. I know from his marriage certificate that his father was George a shoemaker. i have no record of him at all in Norfolk - I have looked at the parish records with no luck.

Thought maybe the apprentiship may be a lead as it was not the family business and there may be records somewhere. Beenlooking at this on and off for years. he is a major brick wall !

Where is he in 1841 and 1851? I can only see him in the 1861 census.
