question
« on: Monday 26 July 04 14:45 BST (UK) »
 :)Hi all: I am new at this but hope someone can help me. I have an ancestor which said on one census that he was born in St. James. another census says he was born in Paddington. Would both of these be right?

Hi Polly,

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

I think your ancestor wasn't going mad but St James is a church and therefore possibly an area in Paddington.  I'm sure someone will help better than I can but a google found this on Genuki...

and also this...

Hope this helps.

Thanks Pam: I read the  information on St. James and I found it quite interesting. Polly
