I would like to identify my gg grandfather's parents. Henry James (1814 - 1886) is buried with his wife Jane Dyer (1814 - 1880) at the Ryde Cemetery. They were married on January 28 1838 at the Chapel of St Thomas IOW, when Henry stated that his father was named Barnes. Henry was a carpenter and lived in Ryde. I have found him in every census. Henry reported that he was from Newchurch but I have not found his baptism record.
At the time of the 1861 census Henry's aunt Jane Barkham was living with the James family. I presume this is Jane James who married William Barkham (1793 - 1839) on October 22 1818 in Newchurch. Perhaps this Jane James had a sister who was Henry's mother?
