    Default James Mortimer

    I've been stuck on this person for a couple of years. So I'd thought I'd stop lurking and try posting

    James Mortimer

    Occupation: Journeyman hatter

    Birth: between 1800 and 1804 in Plymouth

    Death: March 1873 in Keynsham, Gloucestershire

    Married: Mary Ann Loveless / Lovelace (her parents are John and Dinah)
    31 Aug 1834 in Bitton, Gloucestershire

    Children

    Elizabeth 1838
    Phillip 1839
    James 1841
    Mary Ann 1843

    I cant find any information at all as to who his parents were.

    I did wonder if had left an Elizabeth in Devon but I can find no link. I ordered the following but no indication of where that particular James had got to:

    723/74 Removal order: Elizabeth Mortimer, wife of James Mortimer, Brixton to Plympton St. Mary 10 June 1832

    Thanks Raffaele & valg.

    Raffaele - unfortunately hes not mine as hes in Ermington in the 1861 census. While mine is in Bitton.

    valg - I did discount James Weeks Mortimer a few years ago as I think I also found him on the 1861 census but I dont have Ancestry anymore so now I'm not 100% sure. Someone else has got stuck coming the other way so maybe I was wrong and it is James Weeks..

    I also know my James was literate as he signed his marriage register.
