No, the 1864 James is a policeman in 1901 so definitely the same as 1911.

Thansk for all these not sure which is him need to double check. I would love him to be a mole catcher though!

It might help if you tell us a bit more - such as who he married, parents, children maybe?
jan

The parents of James are John and Emma............(The 1881 census that Maddie posted)
To avoid duplicate research Jayne.........it would have been best to have added this information to your original Setherton thread.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/1278363

Thanks everyone.
I did add it to my original thread as you have attached pricklyholly but no one replied so I thought it had been missed as it was an addition. sorry if it caused any problems.
I will do some double checking and if I ahve anymore relevant information I will get back here.

I could not find any marriage, children or death for him so only know his parent John and Emma.

If you ever feel your thread has been missed...........just put Nudge in the box and press submit. This will bump your thread back up to the top. PH.

could this be his parents

These two James could tie in with the deaths that Maddie found

Maybe this is why your James (or one of the two) is possibly not on the 1901 census. He appears to have joined up in 1897. He was discharged in 23 November 1907 and is listed as being in South Africa between 1899 and 1903.

His father is listed as John Seatherton of Bishops Nympton. As this one I found listed as Leatherton in 1911 married in 1904 I presume this could well be the James who was in Wales in 1911 and married later

There is looks like the other James who also lists his father as John Seatherton, but gives his address at enlistment as with Mr Ayre of Roadmarsh Farm in the Parish of Rose Ash. No details are given of his service or when he left the army.
