Thank you, yes that is the certificate from which I pulled my known information.  Appreciate your answer.  What I am looking for is James parents names.  I have a feeling he may have been a first generation immigrant.

Answer 2

Welcome, Nici!  I'm not finding anything you didn't describe above.  How do you know James died about 1871?

I found some info about Francis and Elizabeth.  It looks like she was previously married to a Nelson and had some children.  I can't tell whether you already have this info, because none of the people mentioned have profiles.  Profiles are the best place to lay out all your info and sources, to provide context for the family.  Building the profiles with what you know is the best way to help us help you find more.

Thank you.  Yes, I have all subsequent information on the entire family.  Unfortunately, it is James parents which stop me. from going anywhere else.  My tree is much too large to post in the required format, unfortunately, as it includes all sides from all four sets of grandparents, plus many living people.  1871 date is because of census data for Elizabeth and her subsequent marriage/children birth dates

You're welcome.

I feel obliged to point out that WikiTree is very much a give-and-take proposition.  Members build our shared tree by adding our information and sources to it, and receive each other's help and support in return.  All of us have experienced the struggle of contributing our info one profile at a time or through the GEDCOM import process, often from very large trees.

Best of luck to you.
