Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 1,067 Send Message	In 1851, Thomas James born 1817 Salisbury (grocer's assistant) is lodging in Sheffield. He is married,but has no wife with him. Susannah James b.1854 and Elizabeth James b.1856 were baptised on the same day in 1860, in Westminster. The parents were given as Thomas and Caroline James. So it looks like Thomas left Maria Allen and moved in with Caroline, around 1860, who may have urged him to have his daughters baptised. The children he had with Caroline - Caroline, Sarah and James - were all baptised shortly after they were born.

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 1,067 Send Message	I wonder if it's worth looking at the Petty Sessions around the times that Susan James' children were born. Maybe she sued the father for maintenance.
