ADDED You obviously need the marriage certificate for John James & Rosanna to confirm that his father is Thomas

Thank you - I did see these entries but unsure as to whether it is my John James - I will dig out the certificate and hopefully that will give me something further, I know his wife’s’ father wasn’t written on her birth certificate so a bit stuck with her side :-\
