Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 329 Send Message	Thank you for your help, is there any way of finding out if the 2 James's are the same person. I'm following the 1834 James the other born 1837. If my James is the wrong one I will have to change half of my tree and I thought I was doing very well. Regards, Ann

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 329 Send Message	Can anyone help me. The wife of James, Harriet, died in child birth in 1863 in London.The 2 elest boys of this marriage went to stay with their grand mother Jane in Exeter, Waterbeer St. (1871) cencus. James was the son of Frederick Woolcott and Isibella Soper. Isibella then died in 1846. A Frederick 47 married Jane Fare 43 in 1848 where on the 1851 census they had 2 children James 14 and Thomas who was 5, both born before their marriage do you think James is from a previous marriage of Janes or could this be the same James. There is also a death of a James in exeter in 1865. I hope you can understand this, maybe I'm completely wrong anyway Regards. Ann.
