On the 1911 England census alongside the family names is a note, "Brit,subject by parentage." James' father and mother were born in Ireland?

I have done most of this tree but can't get further than Patrick Cairns 1818 Ireland. Going to Dublin soon!

What is it you want to know, Margaret?

Whether or not James's parents were actually born in Ireland?
