Hello again Christine!

I'm just adding on here that you have another thread connected to this:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/trying_to_find/evans/thread/1250275

Most of the info on there is relevant to this query about James Jay & Louisa.

Thank you for your input really helpful

Too many co-incidencies !

I would check James birth cert with the marriage of Louisa Evans to see if same father/ occupations etc.
