magpie you can see a transcript of his baptism @

Norfolk baptism project..
under the church stated by other members,this is a free site.

This is wonderful, I feel that it must be them as the Lines (Lynes) surname fits. Thank you a dozen times!!!! There has been some controversy as to whether young James married Elizabeth Brightin or Webb!!! It would appear from this that the Webb is the one! Wonder where Brightin comes from? (This could be a complication!!!)
Must have some breakfast, then I shall go through all this. Thankyou again.

Thank you all very much. I've written down in some old notes that James was born in 1800, but I can't remember how or where I got that info as I didn't write that down!!!! so I've been thinking that they were both very young and marriage for one reason or another was not possible, BUT, It could well be that I was wrong and that James was older, and Rebecca, who I know was a domestic servant was, well, in the wrong place at the wrong time!!! Young James became a farmer with 10 acres, (I have a photo of him and his wife taken he he was quite elderly) so I would think that his ''father' accepted some sort of responsibility for him.
I will have a good look at the info you kind people behave provided, and again, thank you.

James and Mary's marriage?

England Marriages, 1538–1973 *

Name James Wainford
Spouse's Name Mary Lindoe
Event Date 08 Nov 1796
Event Place Colney, Norfolk, England

from familysearch.

Surely if James is the father of a son born c1819, he is going to be born at the latest c1800, more likely in the 1790s or earlier?

The James who married Mary Lindo was having babies baptised before 1813, that's just when the transcript Chris posted the link to, begins:

eg from familysearch:

Name Susan Wainford
Gender Female
Christening Date 20 Apr 1802
Christening Place Saxlingham-Nethergate, Norfolk, England
Father's Name James Wainford
Mother's Name Mary Lindo Wainford

Name Louisa Wainford
Gender Female
Christening Date 13 Jan 1805
Christening Place Saxlingham-Nethergate, Norfolk, England
Father's Name James Wainford
Mother's Name Mary Lindo Wainford

and others.

Thank you all very much. I've found James junior and Rebecca, but the paternal spaces are empty for obvious reasons!! I think the 1837 chap could well be him. 1813 is too early as he was born in 1800. I'll have a shot at the older date and see what I can find.

There is a James Wainford and Mary Lindo baptising children in Saxlingham Nethergate from 1813

Hi, Thank you Beverley. As James was illegitimate he took his mother's surname, which became mine eventually! James Wain(s)ford was named as the baby's father, but there was no marriage. Rebecca went on to marry someone called James Clarke and have two more children. Sadly she ended her life in the workhouse in Swainthorpe Norfolk aged 90. I am interested in where JW came from, his job and his family background.

Do you know the name of the father from his marriage certificate?

James Lynes 1819-1888 was the baseborn son of Rebecca Lynes1798-1884, and I am searching for information about James father. His name was James Wainford (or Wainsford) 1800-? I think he was a Farmer. Rebecca lived in Saxlingham, Norfolk. Her father was Thomas Lynes, her mother Amelia Kirby. Baseborn James grew up to be a farmer with 10acres and married Elizabeth Brightin, 1819-1905, who came from Shotesham, Norfolk. I don't know whether James W came from the same village or from outside. Any help to run James W to earth would be very gratefully received.
