Notes:

James was born in Newcastle-under-Lyme and served an apprenticeship as a china painter and gilder, and moved to London. He had a workshop in Leather Lane, near Fleet Street, and lived in Eyre Street. When he married Ann KENNEDY of 125 Fetter Lane (off Fleet Street) in 1808, they lived in Eyre Street and their first four children were born there. About 1815 the family moved to an (as yet, undiscovered) address in Islington, and lived there until they were due to leave for the Cape Colony in early 1820. The severe winter delayed their departure when the river Thames froze. As the family was unable to embark on their ship on the appointed date, they stayed with Ann HANCOCK’s brother, Thomas KENNEDY and his family, at 125 Fetter Lane in the City of London. {per John Powell }
