	Oops, I don't know, Jacqueline! Further research required here. The son Henry James matches, even to the fact that he's a saddler. Wonder if James was married twice?

	Is this your James on IGI? James Lynex christened 5 Apr. 1818, St. Matthew, Walsall, Staffordshire. Parents Richard & Kitty. If so there are these with same parents: Richard, chr. 15 Feb. 1824, died 1 Mar. 1824. Emma, chr. 26 June 1825.
