Hey Tracey-Leigh James Harper was my great grandfather and you've got a generation further back than I know about! Congratulations - please get in touch - I'm not supposed to post my email direct but you're obviously more familiar with this site than I am so I presume you know how.
James Jr was my grandmother Ethel Maude Harper's father. Maude was born in Bulls in 1882, she married my grandad Henry Geddes in her early 20s (I don't have the date to hand.) My mother Grace was born in 1917...
I'd love to know where in County Down James came from - that's what my husband was trying to find out when he stumbled across your request... Beginner's luck!
Best Regards - you're probably a cuzzie...
