Thank you for the reply.
The Clarissa who married Peter Johnson is James’ daughter.
I did not get the marriage information re James Beames & Emma Foxwell from a tree on ancestry.com but from the genealogist.co.uk website. Unfortunately I cannot access the full data without paying a subscription fee. There are various levels of fees but the information I want is only available on the most expensive level.
I have researched the Digger disks.
You are right about the trees on Ancestry.com. Many do not have sources for their information but copy it from other trees. In fact some of the trees give another public tree as the source for their information.

Aileen I was aware that Clarissa was the dau

You may have researched the CD's but you missed Emma's death because her surname was mistranscribed.  Other researchers have named his wife as Clarissa along with the correct date of death.  I wonder how many other researchers bother to do their own research but simply copy others' research, errors and all

You now have the information that James' wife was Emma. Have you researched the other SA resources I posted?

I would suggest that the person who posted the full information about James and Emma's marriage on a public tree has sighted the parish record otherwise how would the date and place of the marriage be known along with the information that they were married by Banns.

Thank you Cando
I did have the death of Emma Beames (transcribed as Beans) but was totally confused by all the conflicting trees and information all with Clarissa as the wife of James. I have researched the majority of the sites you listed but not the Return of sick and destitute emigrants receiving relief 1840. Is this available online or do I have to go to a library?
Thanks so much for your help.

I think one needs to treat online trees with great caution.  I can't understand why you were confused if, as you say, you had found Emma's death.

I have researched the majority of the sites you listed but not the Return of sick and destitute emigrants receiving relief 1840. Is this available online or do I have to go to a library?

They are not websites but resources.  Perhaps you could share what you have found as it may help the new chatter on the thread, corona2883 [Jenny] who is also researching this family.  I thought you would have acknowledged her
