greyghost - will have to double check my info, but I think the first James had a son James and they both married a Hannah. That is what I thought anyway but will need to recheck. Thanks again for your info.

Yes greyghost the 1851 census is the correct family and the info you give would seem to make sense. thank you.

safc - your info would also seem to be right. thank you.

Would appreciate any help you can find regarding the John Owen b. c1772 he could be my 5 x gt. grandfather. Many thanks

If this is the James and Hannah family you site in the 1851/61 census, they have a son James born 1831 - so unlikely if there was a James b 1819 (unless a son of Hannah and he is using the Owen surname)

Your OP not very clear

You're saying James and Hannah married in 1841 -
? also that his Father was James a Labourer and her Father was Robert - is this from the Marriage certificate.

You're then wondering if the Father James was b 1796 and was married to a Hannah

and his Father was possibly John b 1772 and married to Frances?
