James' mother Emma died in late 1850, at about the time that James was born,
leaving Joseph with a new-born baby and 3 small children. In the 1851 census James aged
6 months is being cared for by a local family, William and Sarah ROOTS. In
1861 James and siblings are back living with Joseph in Charles St, Kensington
(see the pages for Joseph).
In the 1871 census James is working as a servant for a licenced vitualler,
the same occupation as his father had:
Marriage (or not) to Maria Fanny RUSHTON
James is unmarried in the 1871 census, but in July 1872 he and Maria had a son
Joseph James. I cannot find any record of a marriage for James and Maria, so I
conclude they were never actually married. Maria's life is an interesting
study in itself, and more information is here. You can return to
this story of James when you have read about Maria....
James and Maria had 4 children:

James was a scaffolder and he apparently fell off scaffolding and died in
early 1877 (March qtr Kensington 1a/110). This was before his youngest
daughter, Florence, was born.
I have not traced the lives of the 3 daughters, but the story of Joseph
James continues here.
