Hi,
I am searching for info on John JAMES and his family. He is my great great great grandfather.
I dont know when he was born etc but I know he married Elizabeth PRAY on the 30 Jun 1812 in Newland.

I only have one of his children at present my great great grandmother Martha JAMES she was born on the 12 Feb 1830 in Bream. She was christened on 25 April 1830 at St James Church,Bream.
She married Meshack SELBY in May 1848 at the church of St Paul,at Park End.
She migrated to Australia with her husband and 2 eldest children Mercy SELBY and Paul SELBY and arrived in Australia on 15th Aug 1855 on board the ship "STARTED FAWN'.They came out to australia on an unassisted passage.

Her husband died in 1888 in Stanmore, NSW, Australia and she remarried a Mister Thomas MONCUR in 1885 in Bathurst, NSW, Australia.

Any help with finding out more about John JAMES or the parents and siblings or children of John would be greatly appricated.
