William James

[Jane101]

Hi -
William James married Henrietta Sarah Burnham in the 1860s. I know William was born around 1839/1840 Cornwall and Henrietta was born around 1840/1841 London. I want to find out who William's parents were and find him in the 1841/1851/1861 census. I have already found him in the 1881 census where he and Henrietta are living in Cornwall with their children - William, Henrietta, Jane, John, Earnest and Fred. - All born Camborne, Cornwall including William.

Thank you if you do find out anything and reply

Hi keyboard86

[KGarrad]

The marriage certificate (available on a public tree on Ancestry) his father is John
