Yes, perhaps that's it. I don't think it was a mining village, but he was born there and appeared there in other census, when his wife was alive. His son is living in the same village with his grandparents. Sad times. |

I would think that his uncle worked in a quarry and James worked in a coal mine, but looking at other people in the village I can't see any other miners. |

Thank, K...yes, I like that suggestion...would that fit with his Uncle being a Stone Mason? |

I am having trouble making out the occupation of one of my ancestors on his 1861 census entry. Please could you take a look and see what you think? |
