In the spirit of being fashionably late (Couple of years by the looks of the last entry) I thought I’d take a chance and place a post.

I’m a direct descendant of James Duval and Mary Quinn. I have been absolutely blown away by the info in these posts! It seems poor James Junior was destined for a life of poverty as he lived very poorly with his large family for most of their lives.

I’m happy to share any info family members may be interested in that I have-which isn’t much-and would love any old photos or info that may be held by family as well.

Take care all-hope someone reads this after all these years!!

Informative and interesting reading on the background of these two.
I am also a direct descendant of James and Margaret with James Duval and Mary Duval (nee Quinn) the line of descendancy.
I am struggling to confirm some details about James Duval.  I have found he was born in 1797 in Brest, France and came to Sydney on the Lady Kennaway, not as a convict and not seemingly registered on the ship as an immigrant or a crew member.  He was a runaway seaman at some stage and it is said he may have been on the 1838 and/or the 1841 Lady Kennaway voyage and may have actually made a return trip.
No leads whatsover as to his parents in France, I guess.
Another birth year has been mentioned (1811) but it doesn't seem to fit the circumstances of this James Duval. 
Wondering if anyone has any relevant comments.
