Anthony,
Thanks for your reply and information.
I am glad I am not in a postion of having to adjudicate to legally decide the truth.

Are you saying the Hannah who married Samuel Roberts in 1850 is Samuel James 1841 mother? If so what became of Samuel Preest?
It does look as if the Samuel who married Sarah Ann Morgan in 1859 are one and the same (Samuel 1841). But why did he call himself a James and list his father as a Preest? There is the other Richard James buried in 1841 who fits the bill for being the biological father for Sanmuel 1841.
Anthony, have you any background for the death of this 35 year old Richard James?
I have asked a lot of question but I do find it an intrigueing story.
Norman
