James MORTIMORE - Parkend- West Dean, C19 (General)
There is a spanner in the works! In 1851, James MORTIMER appears with parents William and Ann in Bristol, age 13 - so he can't be the same James MORTIMORE lodging with the TIPPINS family in 1851, age 19. But... in 1871, the FoD James MORTIMORE gives his place of birth as "Upper Knole [sic] Bristol" - which is where my Elizabeth was born as well. It can't be a coincidence, can it? I've checked both originals, and both read clearly as James. Help! Any suggestions?
