William James
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 14:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi -
William James married Henrietta Sarah Burnham in the 1860s. I know William was born around 1839/1840 Cornwall and Henrietta was born around 1840/1841 London. I want to find out who William's parents were and find him in the 1841/1851/1861 census. I have already found him in the 1881 census where he and Henrietta are living in Cornwall with their children - William, Henrietta, Jane, John, Earnest and Fred. - All born Camborne, Cornwall including William.

Thank you if you do find out anything and reply  ;D

It's on Ancestry - for which you must have a subscription.

I just did a search for William James, born 1839, Cambourne, Cornwall with a wfie Henrietta.
First hit under Family Trees.
