Hi Ben,
The James Thwaite you talk about is my 2nd great grandfather and yes he was innkeeper at the Fleece Inn. he lived there with his whole family - wife Hannah, sons Ely, Ernest (my great grandfather), Ben & John and daughters Sabine, Alice and Mary. I don't think it was for long though. I've been doing some research into my ancestral line and have gone back as far as James and then up to present following that line. Yet to look into his siblings and parents and back further. But James was the son of Eli, who was the son of James, who was the son of Richard who was the son of John Thwaite -b 1695. That's as far back as I've got.
So we must be related somehow - not sure how?! I guess you are descendent from one of James siblings...
