According to a tree on Ancestry, he married Amelia Norton (no source and I cannot find a marriage); their first child was a Margaret, b1850, Isle of Man. One other child, Thomas James, b1854, Dublin. Is this your family, David?

this is him in 1851

Name: James Anderson
Age: 32
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1819
Gender: Male
Where born: Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Civil Parish: Scarborough
Town: Scarborough
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Registration district: Scarborough

the image shows him as an unmarred private in the 46th regiment

so he had a short time to marry and have a child/ren

possibly at age 32 he was married already and the census entry was just sloppy recording

Researching:
You remember me. :)

Hello David, which of his children was your direct ancestor?

Who was James' wife and where/when did they marry? You'll probably have more chance of finding his father's name from a marriage certificate and then working back from that.

Welcome to the boards David.

Since civil registration only started in 1837 there won't be a birth certificate so the best you can hope for is a baptism.

I need some help finding the birth info fo my 2x G grand father, James Anderson. Born in Great Yarmouth Norfolk in 1820 and was a private in the 46th foot, number 1401. He died in the great storm in 1854 in the crimea.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
