Henry JAMES
Set As Default Person -
Name Henry JAMES Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 12 Feb 1838 Bucknall, Staffordshire, England
- From the 1851 census where shown as aged 13. Actual date from baptism PR entry.
Possible birth registration:
GRO ref: JAMES, Henry q1 1838 Stoke on Trent RD 17 129; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name.With James a common surname and the lack of a mother's maiden name it could well be a different James. The absence of a maiden name often indicates a child was illiegitimate, but it is missing in some other cases, especially in early registrations. Three others on the same page lack a maiden name in the index (out of 10). Forty per cent is clearly way above the illeigitmacy rate, was it chance or because the maiden name not recorded?
Baptised 16 Mar 1845 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Bucknall, Staffordshire, England

"March 16 No. 346. Henry of John & Hannah[?] James, abode: Bucknell, father's occupation: Collier, ceremony performed by Ed. Tongs" - under heading 'Baptisms ... Bucknell ... 1845' (handwriting not clear, mother's maiden name could be Harriet, but I'm sure it refers to Hannah since 4 children of James and Hannah were baptised the same day, with dates of births corresponding with the birth registrations of the sons of James and Hannah).
