I'm amazed to find people talking about this, have just started researching my family and ended up here, my names is James Lye, going backwards, me, then James William Lye then George Lye then James William, then James William then George (the one in question) then George born around 1786ish, it's there my trail goes cold.
I'm confused as to the James William born to George and Dorothy, was he born Lye or born King? if out of wedlock I have 0 chance of finding out who the father was I imagine.
I was wondering, what is your interest in this line of family?
I have screen shots of the census' from 41, 61, 81 as well as various details of his family, all the way up to me and my lot, is a strange thing to see all the way back there!
