Thank you so much for this information. I had not found the base born baptism of 19th May 1811 for James Dulfield - there are so many variations in spelling for the surname DEWFIELD. Thank you also for the info re James' mother Mary Dutfield. The friend I am researching for knew that the name Dewfield had appeared in her MOUNTJOY family but did not know why or when.

Strictly speaking she should perhaps have been born a Dewfield! In fact the family of James DEWFIELD b1811 called themselves Dewfield, then added Mountjoy, then eventually dropped Dewfield and just used Mountjoy. It does make me think that his unknown father may have been a Mountjoy.

Re the other James, born to James MOUNTJOY and Maria BLAKE and baptised on 18th August 1811, could this be his marriage?
